I was poor. I joined the US ARMY. I went from poor to lower-middle class. When I left the army, I took what money I had earned and went to The Flatiron School (a ruby-on-rails bootcamp) for $6000. 3 years later, I make pretty good money. All these schools have the potential to become social elevators. It's awesome that free organisations exists. I may have not joined the US ARMY if 42 US existed. EDIT: typos
