The question isn't whether there are smart, motivated people who graduate from a boot camp and succeed. Of course there are. But what's much less clear is the value add of a boot camp. Yes, smart, highly motivated people will succeed after a boot camp, but there's plenty of reason to think they'd succeed regardless. What is worse is the not-so-smart people who spend five figures in a boot camp, and get nothing out of it. The fact that so many boot camps feel the need to goose their numbers by hiring the failgrads is a pretty clear sign that this happens a lot.
