"If you’re looking for a return on investment (and to learn skills that are required in today’s job market), some startups may have the answer. DevBootCamp, for example, offers a 10-week apprenticeship-like training program for people who want to be professional software developers. 88 percent of their graduates have job offers starting at an average of $79,000 a year after their program. The program costs $12,200. That is a much better investment than college.
I had just read this and said to myself "Why would I spend 4 years in college only to be ill-prepared for a software engineering job when I could take this course for $11,000 (pay all at once discount) and be done in a few months..."
I think this is a much faster way to learn a valuable skill and build significant startup capital by working a year or two and living at home.
What are your opinions on such a route?
