Good. Selling false hope for $26k is cruel even by my standards. And you're not going to become employable from a boot camp unless you either already knew a lot or are supremely talented.

There is nothing special about learning to code. Learn the fundamentals, learn the math, learn how a computer works,practice, success. Seriously, if you want to be good at anything, it's always the same analogous steps.

Are you a promoter for one of these boot camps?

"Even humanities graduates can learn how to code in a few months and join the high-paying digital economy. "

How sad are things getting. A humanities graduate, with deep knowledge about interesting topics, encourage to become a cheap code monkey, just because it pays more than his/her original career.

Things "getting"? Uhhh what? In what time period was it not common for people to pursue the paths in life with the greatest material reward?

"with deep knowledge about interesting topic," is significant. It's funny how the trumple generation loves to ommit words. 'You know what I meant!' 'I know what you mean! '

Care to explain? English is not my native language.

The promise of a full time employment through any course is plain wrong.. a course is to save you time and effort .you can learn and get a job without course too.. just think course is 40 percent time saving ..
