I empathize with your situation, in the sense that it is quite frustrating paying for a service that didn't fulfill its end of the bargain. Perhaps there should be more legislation focusing on the terms of ISAs. Until a few years ago, they were a financial instrument that had been discarded by higher ed because they simply didn't work quite well, and mostly relied on a few high earners "bearing the load" of the debt accrued by all ISA holders. On the topic of bootcamps--I have one question for the tech vets in this thread: have you ever considered spending your time at a bootcamp? How did it go? I think there's a "reverse pipeline problem" in tech where the demand for technically-minded mentors/teachers is really high, but the amount of people WILLING to fill that role is small. Money could be the answer, but I don't know if it's the entire answer or even the largest part of the answer. Also worth noting that sometimes the most competent technicians are also quite incompetent when it comes to teaching, which is a common stereotype in academia. In my mind, this is the biggest problem with tech education right now. If I build a successful career in tech, or become a competent technical person who works with computers, what drives me to care about teaching or mentoring? Perhaps all of tech suffers from a bit of a Lisp Curse, to a certain extent[1] 1: https://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/misc/the-lisp-curse/ https://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/misc/the-lisp-curse/
