I'm glad this thread is still going and lively. Keep it up. I really can't wait until my time frees up and I can really start focusing on data structures and algorithms.
Right now I have to focus on things like promises, observables and angular 2 testing for work, which is rather time consuming.

Almost done with this one project I got going. I appreciate the advice on this journey so far guys, it's been quite a ride.
Anybody mind pointing out some portfolio's/projects that they think are about average for a Jr. web developer to pull off? front and/or back end is fine. Maybe some of your own? Just trying to find a solid baseline.

You can find many projects on github.
If you don't get idea any idea from github, you can try freecodecamp, they have several project for you to do for non-profit organizations.

Is this what you made for your job?
The key really is to make something that really interests you. What is something that you are interested in? Just really experiment with your projects. I believe that will catch employer's interests a lot more than the generic projects you see floating out there.
Also, you should decide whether you want to start off on the front end or the back end so that you can focus. You don't necessarily have to stay at one over the course of your career, but to get in the door, focusing on one is helpful.

I don't know what it is but Javascript is such a pain for me to wrap my head around.

I have no strings on me.
Never like writing documentation until :
1.) I had to train several people
2.) I started on a new project 2 weeks ago and there is zero documentation.lol
Life just becomes easier when you have docs. I can tell one of the devs don't want to get me up to speed. But I'm like shyt, you realize how much smoother this process would be if I had docs to read. I realized this when I had to train and people had to kept asking me questions because I never took the time to really document. So I'm speaking from both ends.
Edit: just a real world tip

Codecademy is pretty good, you should also look into finding a Java course on Coursera

For people trying to get into this industry. Something to put on your resume
Agile: Scrum
I'll post a good short book for it when I get to my desktop. But I'm sure HR would love to see this.
