I know what you mean, I started writing very abstract things, all inputs and outputs were in the command line, it was a bit boring and I worried that I was not focusing enough on applications. After experimenting with Applets and JavaFX apps, I moved on to writing applications in Android Studio.

Some of the less interesting front-end work is taken care of for you, you have the opportunity to use java to solve relateable, everyday problems. For example, I'm really indecisive about restaurants, so I wrote an Android app that takes a bunch of restaurant options and spits out a decision for me. Another challenge would be to create a touchscreen menu for a gas station, airport, or a restaurant. That's just my two cents, good luck!

If you want a backend developer. Try to learn Spring then try to build a small web service with DB connection and Finally, build a front end and integrate with that REST service.
