I went through coding bootcamp and this is correct. We had former lawyers, bankers, accountants, IT personnel, database administrators, architects, and on more recent graduate front, physics majors, math majors, econ majors... We also had people from totally out of the left fields like designers and bartenders (both were better coders than practically anyone else). They were all looking to break into programming. They had spent a long time learning on their own and decided to do the bootcamp as a finishing school. It was a good experience for me.
