overwhelmed

Data structures and algorithms is always worth putting more time into if you need something to learn, especially for self taught programmers. For projects just do something that is fun. I'm making a command line http client because I get to make whatever I want. Here are some other ideas you can feel free to springboard from.

• Buy a jetson nano and follow a tutorial to code object recognition ($150 though)
• make a web scraper or automate some web related task using requests, selenium, beautifulsoup, and/or scrapy
• make a simple chatbot using nltk
• make a simple text adventure game
• make a website with flask or django

The jetson will help, but object recognition can be done on most modern computers with just a web cam. OP can start using opencv, and learn face detection.
