it's these 'for profit college' they have to go. i suspect most are total trash. also - with all these coding bootcamps popping up nowdays, im not sure if people are able to get govt student loans for these or what but it sounds like trouble. ppl are desperate to jump on the coding gold rush and the great salaries and job market. ppl are going to get fucked over big time.

first time i saw this[0] all kinds of warning bells went off. im sure there is a way forward so that people can learn and share the value created from software development job market but i think we should move fwd carefully. ppl will definitely get fd over.

but yea most of those 'for-profit' colleges are totally shady.

do they have everest college in the US? perfect example of this kind of bs. in canada they got shut down, but not before screwing over tons of people out of their money for years[1].

At least the coding bootcamps are subject to market pressures that keep tuition (and subject matter) within the realm of economic reality. The fact that guaranteed subsidized loans are not available for them is probably of massive benefit.
