Yeah..the bootcamp starting salaries sound great, but wouldn't that be equivalent to something like $40k in most other cities? Either way, it's a good start and plenty for a single guy to live on.

1. No one is forcing you to live in SF. Other areas in the Bay are more affordable.

2. You're comparing it to the wrong thing. The chances of you getting hired straight out of an online CS degree are probably less.
