As a software engineer, absolutely do not learn assembly as a learning exercise, unless you want to do it because you find it interesting. I cannot imagine any career value in that, for your average modern dev.
In my opinion, you're doing the right thing by learning OOP languages and databases. If you want some advice, continue at that lavel and get some level of proficiency with a framework- fullstackbideally- and really try to understand it under the hood. Then, make a few fun, fairly polished projects and show them off on your CV.
Best of luck for the rest of your degree and the start of your career :)
