Before You Learn to Code, Ask Yourself Why
- cmuir 11y agoGiven the varying lengths of these immersives, I'd love to see a per week price comparison (or some sort of common unit $ comparison). That, plus non-inflated placement rates, would be helpful.
- brettlangdon 11y agoI threw this document together quick trying to break down the "unit" (per week) price of each coding school mentioned in the article. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wKfEzO860nn_2AuKx5fDNtlyUHgNKh8rsf3NbPdPIsM/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wKfEzO860nn_2AuKx5fD... The main issue I found is that some schools include other services in the tuition, like career services, housing, etc. Where others are simply just the course.
- Rambition 11y agoReally great breakdown of the pros and cons, I have two cousins who went the "Code school" route, but with a company sponsoring the cost and a job to "graduate" right into. Takes some of that risk out of it for sure, but to date - 2+ years, they are still building their skills and learning on the job.
