> I had a college degree but in a non-technical field and 0 experience coding before I started the program.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Been a programmer since I was 14 but ended up pursuing another field. I'm making good money but the USD exchange rate in my country is seriously making me reconsider. If I end up doing this, I'll learn whatever I need to be competitive in the market. I suppose bootcamps are a nice way to streamline this process.

May I ask what made you switch fields? Did you have reasons other than salary?

I was 24 and couldn't find any work in my desired field. I was working stupid office jobs and looking for a better options. I started taking some coding night classes and really enjoyed it, I believed the hype about the market need for developers, so I decided to do the full time bootcamp.
