I often wonder what actually motivates people at bootcamps. If someone is having trouble with JS and wants to quit, saying they are demotivated, what has changed? I think the most obvious thing is that their perception of how easy it will be has changed. If that's the case, why does that make them want to quit? I guess I'm leading the question ;-) These days I see a lot of people who want to come into the industry because they see it as a way to get a prestigious job, in a glamourous industry, with flexible work schedule, high pay, comfortable surroundings, etc, etc. What they don't want to do is to sit in a chair all day with blinky flourescent lights, puzzling over arcane and mundane trivia. But while we have the former, we also have the latter. Bootcamps play up that first bit and play down the second. Programming is a great job if you love programming. It's a horrible job if you don't. This is the advice I would give anyone thinking of becoming a programmer.
