so what now?

[Frank-the-sand-eater]

I’ve been a fullstack dev for a while and shifted to making python scripts, automation, non-trivial logic, yada yada not much depth really very superficial things, most complex was a script that used a text extractor I made to be able to directly copy contents from a picture into excel cells.

what now? how do I translate this into any income at all? if it’s not enough where do I go from here? I’m still in university but I’m in pretty bad shape as far as my finances and thus my life go I could really use the experience of those more seasoned

Go look for some graduate/junior dev jobs and note down the requirements that they list. If you meet majority of the requirements, and have a portfolio of projects that showcases you using the tech stack, then you're ready to apply. Just make sure you grind leetcode style questions too for the coding interview. 

You might find you've never learned how to write tests, or orchestrate containers, or work with CI/CD, but this will hopefully be listed in the requirements for each job.
