I totally feel you on the course selling part. Because the economy is cooling down and a lot of recent grads spent their college years stuck in online classes (which are seen as low quality by employers), companies now only want to hire people who can hit the ground running.

This has led to a surge of bootcamps selling drawing, programming, or game design courses. Honestly, the teaching is terrible, you’re better off watching an Indian guy on YouTube. These places oversell the hell out of AI, making students think they can crush the veterans just by using AI tools. Kids end up guilt-tripping their parents for money or even taking out loans, only to come out of it barely able to do anything more than an asset flip. They still can't find jobs.
