I met a guy who was looking into a bootcamp. He was over forty.

I immediately thought, I don't care if he's the best student in the class; he probally will have a horrid time getting a job.

I don't think I've ever seen an industry that's so guilty--actually I won't say the word, but if I was offering a bootcamp, I would just mention the game is geared for youth.

I'm not saying you can't take the courses.

Actually, does anyone know anyone who has taken one one of these bootcamps, who's over forty, who got, and kept a job in tech?

(The older guys I know, interested in programming/web developement all had to work for themselfs. I know one guy who made a killing. The rest are barely supporting themselfs. None went to a bootcamp. They couldn't justify the cost. I don't know if they did the right thing, by not going to a bootcamp.)
