There should be a pathway for people to move into programming (not all of which requires a CS degree) as a second career. I'm lucky, I had the Post 9/11 Gi Bill

There should be a pathway for people to move into programming (not all of which requires a CS degree) as a second career. I'm lucky, I had the Post 9/11 Gi Bill to help me with that. Though I still think that boot camps, unless supplemented with serious personal projects and learning, seem to be slightly scammy feeling.
