Hello. I am a 3rd year math student.
I want to work as a programmer after college. At the moment, I am actively learning python and participating in various contests (algorithms authored by Kormen were enough).
But the rustle on various job sites noticed that there are very few python developer positions, which can not be said about java. And now I want to ask the community: are there so few positions because python is not in demand on the market at all? Maybe go into web development? (Django, Flask). Or start actively learning java?
The situation is complicated by the fact that I live in a small town and we simply do not have any vacancies.
So what to do? Do not panic and continue to study python\algorithms or switch to java? I am very worried about my future.
Do not swear if similar questions were. I honestly didn't find it. )

Don't panic and keep learning. Knowing well the algorithms and one PL, you can easily start programming on another.

Look towards freelancing. An acquaintance, programming in Python, already receives 100k+ rubles. For our city (half a million) it's pretty decent. The same Brainstorage is full of vacancies for remote work. In our era of high technology and intermittent water cuts, small towns and the lack of interesting jobs in them should not create any special problems. The main thing is knowledge and desire to develop.

java, python is primarily a web ─ java is also android.
python in its purest form is not particularly in demand, choose what is closer to you and see what is most in demand on the market ─ which skills are most relevant for a particular area.

Mathematics is good. high GPA + participation in algorithmic contests + numpy, scipy = excellent work in computer science

Look at the course and the book (it seems to be in Russian translation). It talks about many algorithms and related data structures. This knowledge can be applied in any programming language. IMHO jvm languages are more in demand and do not want to give up their positions, and if you are impressed by the functional paradigm, then Weclome to Scala
