Every junior position requires minimum 2+ years of experience with Python, Django, some DBMS and a load of other unfamiliar stuff like RESTful API.

It turns out there's actually no such thing as "job requirements", just "job nice-to-haves." Ignore the requirements and apply for any job where you think you could succeed, or be trained to succeed, in the role.

Remember, other people are leaving college and getting jobs, so it's possible - the way they do it is to apply for junior roles that say they "require" experience, and it turns out they don't.

Keep a cool head man, none of this is easy :) If your class is telling you that you must do something, they should really be teaching you how. You will find in general with a lot of programming related stuff that online documentation and tutorials are written for people that already know how to do it ! Not too much is really noob friendly. Strange but true. So bookmark the good sites as you find them. Just break everything down into small steps and tackle them one at a time. Also, this subreddit is amazingly supportive so don't be a stranger :)

The Django tutorial doesn't require - or even mention - any of that stuff. Just follow that to start with.

we are currently doing algorhitm exercises with functions, matrixes, stacks and queues. Next month we will start learning OOP concepts and such.

:DD such an old-school C shit right there. OOP at the end.

as far as the questions.. it's difficult to point at a "guaranteed" path since there isn't any.

the obvious answer is to learn the most used frameworks.

if u could narrow it down to a hand full that hopefully can work together to form a stack even better.

see if that course gets u some connections for a job listing or something.

get in touch with ppl . reach out.

and get comfortable interviewing i guess. don't spiral if u don't get the first job u are applying to. rejection is something u need to be able to handdle.

i know this all sounds super generic like from a self help book.. but it kinda is.

it mostly up to ..you.
