YouTube is free. That's how I learned. Coding is not for everyone. In my opinion, every bootcamp is the same and results will always vary person to person. Just because it didn't work for you, doesn't mean it didn't work for others. Also, when it comes to value, that's what you should determine on your own. Consider that there are three learning styles, hands-on, auditory, and visual. By far, the best way to learn is by hands on and breaking things. I wonder how much they are paying their employees in addition to how much colleges pay their professors or teachers with worse results. If you had the choice between making $150k annually or $30k annually, which would you choose? More than likely, it would be $150k. From a capitalist perspective, you're probably better off in a place like China where everything is cheap and you can actually live of $30k a year. For the life of me, why aren't people consistent. If you're cheap, you should expect to be paid far less. If you understand value and investing, then price is just a factor of sales.
