very naive assumptions about what it costs and what it takes to train the unemployed (which isn't the problem to begin with, but that is a separate issue)

put simply, if it only took 3 months and $4k to train people to be ready for startup tech jobs, then everybody would already be doing it

CORRECTION: My cost is $20,000 in the piece. Please re-read the piece. In it I state:

-- four months of f/t training with a $200k teacher. -- 20 students per for months, so 80 students a year / $200k -- i added 20% for admin so it's $240k / 80 students -- add $1-2k per student for space -- four months onsite at $1k a month = 4k per student

that's around $10k per person

i say later in the piece double it.... so $20k a student.

now, not every student is ready for this type of training. but where does a boot camp like this exist?
