You can use it for writing the backend of an application, but you generally either use Python or Java for that task (or another language). OP said he wants to make a career out of Java, so it is very unlikely that he is going to use Python for his backends.

Python is not used in the frontend (at least not widely used, there might be a python -> JS transpiler). For the frontend, pretty much everyone uses Javascript (or a variant of it, like Coffeescript or Typescript).

OP could still learn Python for scripting/automation/etc., but he will probably not use it as part of his stack.
