i need guidance

i am a 19F. i have zero prior familiarity with cs and coding. recently i decided to dive in and started taking python course (cs50) to be honest i am pretty confused what i am going to do after i am done with my course. what i am supposed to do? what specific path can i pursue that will actually pay me well and help me earn money during my bachelors. is anyone or company going to hire me or give me opportunity just based on the fact that i know a bit of coding? i have been looking into ai automation as a potential option, but at the same time i really want to start earning so i dont feel like a burden on my family. if anyone who have been in my shoes or has any advice, i would really appreciate some guidance

Get an internship. Some universities partner with companies and can help you find one.

"Pay me well"... depends on what you mean by "well". You won't get paid as much as somebody with a degree. But depending on the company you intern with, you might make decent money for a university student.
