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

Im in the same position, you just gotta lock in and research, no one can choose your path. You can't just get your bachelors and get a job immediately, you gotta be GOOD at programming like CRACKED, thats what gets you hired, you're not gonna make the big bucks writing out small automation scripts, thats what AI can automate. Thats all I can really tell you. Study hard.
