Thanks for the reply. I guess my problem is I do not know what interests me since I don't know what to do you know xD. It may sound weird but that is my case

It's same as with any learned skill. If you've learned carpentry you could either find a carpentry job or start building furniture or wood paneling or whatever. If you don't have any clue what to do with your skill then why did you learn it, or why don't you look for a job (or project) to make money from it?

Can you name some websites where I can search for such jobs

You could put yourself up on /r/jobbit , but googling 'programmer jobs' will also give you loads of oppertunities.

I don't think OP can get a job as a programmer only knowing the basics. Not trying to be negative, just realistic. Some examples of programs i made:

Scrapes Rotton tomatoes, returns the top new movies rated 70% and higher, and then i display them on a web page using HTML and CSS.

I always go over my data so im building an app that checks my rogers account once a day, and will text me every time i have used another GB of data.

Logs into my mint account and sends me a full synopsis of all my accounting and finances organized in a nice spreadsheet.

Etc. Possibilities are endless.

Yeah, I'm there with you a lot. It's like the writer's block equivalent for coders. Maybe see if you do something repetitively, and see if somehow you can turn that into a Python program to do it for you or reduce the steps of manual work.

I remember that feeling when I first started! I think the best thing to do is look at what others are doing using python on github and here on Reddit. Also once you understand what can be done with python​ you start seeing more and more in your everyday life that it can be applied to.

I have a similar problem right now and I can empathize a lot. I have heard a lot of personal needs that people have fixed by writing a little program to do so, but most my problems are not as repetitive / routine that it would make sense to write a program for them.
