There's also the middle ground of going to a reputable coding bootcamp. I'm a 34 year old dad with two kids with a bachelor's /master's, so I'm not really itching to accrue any further debt and I don't wanna spend 2/4 years in school. Sure, if I had the time and money, I'd go back to school and take a bunch of math/theory that would probably help but wouldn't be essential to finding a job. Anyhoo, I start class at a bootcamp in a couple of days. Other than a bunch of codeacademy, mdn and other random resources, I don't have a load of experience in programming
