How good a community college is often dependent on how wealthy its county is.

Secondly, a data science course may be offered, but only during fall semester and everyone else wants to sign up for it.

Also bootcamps can compress the curriculum from two years worth of junior college into 8-12 weeks. For someone who never enjoyed being in school, I'll take the bootcamp.

Right, and I got a doctorate by listening to an audio tape.

Except no one from a bootcamp is adding "BSc Computer Science" behind their name. And somehow they're getting decent jobs.
