How about expanding beyond coding? The U.S. has a shortage of skilled people that goes well beyond coding. E.g. machinists, pilots, nurses, etc.

Also, I think your business model would be much more scalable if you left the educating to others and instead focused narrowly on being a financial program.

Yep -- 100% -- right now it's web development but in the short term we'll bring in other types of software development. Medium term, other knowledge work like data science and finance. Longer term, nursing. Nursing (and other fields where there are more immediate safety issues and logistics issues (hard to do nursing totally online) are very big areas and we probably need cheaper capital to do it (unless VR/AR changes that).
