You will never be ready. The more sustainable and less pressured way to make a Folio is not to try to "make it" in one hit like a one off project in x months. I can almost guarantee you stress no fun and burnout. You need to attempt to produce finished work consistently to as high as a level as you can manage NOW as a habit. Make your Folio site, artstation is quick, easy, free and gets the job done. Then get used to cycling your best work through it and removing your worst work as you improve. Pros are you always have a Folio ready to go if some unforseen opportunity arises that requires you to send someone your work immediately. This becomes a kind of indicator too. The overall quality of your best work and folio will rise as your skills rise.
I'm not sure how many times this can be repeated to you till you take it on board tbh dude. Generic cgcookie exercises are totally useless for your Folio even if you can reproduce the results effectively. Sure learn, study but worrying about getting a job when you aren't producing any finished work of your own at all is totally pointless.
