This would depend on what you intend to do with Java.
Web (Backend) or Desktop Apps or Android.

These are the popular use cases of Java these days.

For Backend:

  1. You can pick up spring.

For Android:

  1. Jump on an android course (Kotlin is the standard these days tho).

For Desktop:

  1. Kinda obsolete when you have electron and the likes but if you must you can look into JavaFx... or old timer Swing.

There are other use cases of Java (python is more popular) for example Machine learning - In that case, you can dive into ML concepts.

You know enough to do any of these in my opinion - doing some real life work will also add to your motivation.

Actually I want to learn all 3, but for the first one is Android, My university will teach me web backend one day, but I won't take mobile development course cause I want to finish it my self, I might study something else as major elective...
