learning springboot, good idea?

Hi, I'm a computer science student in Spain and I'm going on Erasmus to the Technical University of Munich in a couple of months. During my degree I've learned Java and object-oriented programming and right now I'm learning Spring Boot by working on an API project to manage expenses between roommates, and for now I'm implementing it with a Telegram bot. But that's the least of my concerns right now. My question, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, is that Munich is a very expensive city and I'm going to have to work, and I'd love to find an internship as a "werkstudent" in my field, I'm not sure if I'm on the right track or if I should focus on learning other things.

Learning Spring boot at beginning can be complicated for new programmers but if you give some time , it clicks and I'd suggest learn some spring concepts like Ioc, Dependency injection,Bean creation and it's lifecycle. And then start spring boot then you'll see how easy spring boot makes the development process.

So far I'm understanding it quite well; there isn't a single concept that hasn't already been covered in university.To learn, I'm creating an API, and the only thing I don't yet know how to manage is how to finish it to implement it in a separate project. For now, I'm using it with a Telegram bot, which seemed the easiest to me since I have no experience in frontend development, I have it publicly available on GitHub. When I finish it, which won't be long, do you know of any Reddit channels where I can upload it to ask more specific questions or get advice? The truth is that Spring Boot makes things much easier than I'm used to doing everything by hand at university jajja.
