In terms of paying for these bootcamps, I don't think you are the target market. You have CS exposure and you are already getting fluent with Python and Django. The target market for these bootcamps is people with little development experience. You are better off going through the many online resources. Your best bet is to target companies that do Python and/or Django development. I would focus on getting even better with these technologies.

I would also recommend that you finish your program. When we don't have a concrete plan for something else, the path we are on currently is usually still the best. In your case, it doesn't look like you have a startup that you are building and has investors, traction, etc. So, you didn't leave because there was much greater return on value on your time doing something else.

Now, I'm sure the material in the program is lower on the scale of reasons you are leaving and you have other reasons that are valid for you. But, it would be worth re-evaluating. It's hard sometimes to finish these things but it shows that you have determination and persistence. You can continue to do your side learning and improving your skills while still in school. Having a degree is still relevant. I know that here it sometimes seems like everybody gets work regardless of their education but that's not the norm.
