If you're against Lambda School model then what are you for?

The only viable alternative is to take a loan and go to college.

The average us student debt is ~$40k (https://studentloanhero.com/student-loan-debt-statistics/).

So what model do you think is better?

a) College "give us $40k now, good luck with your job search"

b) Lambda School "we'll teach you for free; we'll help you find a job; if, and only if, you get a high-paying job, you'll re-pay us $30k for the education that we already gave you"

Option 3: Find a different bootcamp with a flat fee (usually 10-15k)

Option 4: Self teach using one of many of the free curriculums online

(Not arguing for or against any of these, just pointing out that there are additional options)

Lambda School has a flat fee as well ($20k for 7.5 months of FT training)
