You don't pay anything back until you're making at least $50k a year. Not sure what the life of the contract is, but I've been following the Lambda school guys on Twitter for a while and they seem very focused on a 2-3 year payback. A lot of the criticism of Lambda School seems like unfairly comparing some ideal of education with their model, rather than comparing the current reality, which is colleges that frequently leave people in $30k + worth of student debt with no guarantee of a job afterwards, and that's before we talk about the years you sink into it. Then there are the learn to code bootcamps which seem to be garbage in general. I'd be willing to bet for most of us, paying 17% of our income (once we made $50k) a year, for two years, is a vastly preferable to whatever we've paid.
