What does learning Java do in general? What doors does it open?
What can you do with Java

That's like asking what you can do with a toolbox. Nearly anything you set your mind to. You're better off telling us what you're trying to accomplish by learning Java because just learning Java doesn't really open any doors. Your competition is other developers, 90% chance they know Java and a host of other languages.
Learning java allows you to understand oop principles, and concepts like high cohesion and low coupling and having the flexibility to develop on a linux/mac/pc. You could learn java and start developing apps on android or make websites using it. But, the job market for solely for java skills is disappointing

Currently taking an Intro to programming class and we're learning Java. It's a freshman level class so were learning the basics but it's pretty cool . First 2 weeks and we covered objects, classes, types, variables ,functions, arguments. As far as actual programming we did print statements, keyboard Inputs, and some math word problems

For an example of how the above information can translate into product, some cable services now run on java-based infrastructure.

I would add on HTML5 to javascript as well. I would get as far away from Java as possible, its dying and those entities that use it will be switching to another platform in the next 5-10 years or so due to another major vulnerability. Firefox and Chrome don't allow java to run on its browser. You can still do things with the language, just be aware of its limitations and don't get into the 'java for web programming' game, get into the 'java for android' niche instead (until they do away with that too)

What do these languages help with?
Responsive websites(mobile friendly), web apps and hybrid apps.
Hybrid apps allow you to deploys your mobile apps on both iOS and Android without having to build them in native languages for both iphones(c-objective) and android phones(Java).
I am not an expert yet but I assume you are a newbie. So unless you want to go ahead with Java, here is a guide on what you should learn. You gonna have to do some reading to find out what you like tho:
HTML, CSS3. Then Bootstrap
Javascript
React or Angular or Vue.js (These are Frameworks that allow you to build applications in Javascript)

Ohhhh I c. What does c++ do I've heard about them but I don't even know what it does
C++ / Java / C all these are powerful programming languages that are used to build enterprise level software. If you learn one, the others will be easy to learn.
It all depends on the type of things you want to build.
It suggest you do some youtube watching. It's plenty of good information. Start with something like: why learn java or c++. Java vs Javascript...
So what do you want to build?
What do you think about Django/Python? I was spoke with one of the lead devs at my job yesterday for advice getting into the field and he was really suggesting I go that route, but that's kinda cuz they're used for our company. I'm a little familiar with Python, HTML and JavaScript... the route you're talking seems more in line with the platforms I'm utilizing right now for projects, though... along with PHP
