I don't think the person you're replying to thinks that college is a fantastic choice, just that coding bootcamps are often materially and objectively worse for most participants. If nothing else, colleges give you a diploma at the end, which is at least good for bypassing a minimum requirement at many companies. That's not to say that both are not bad, just that one preys on people distrustful (or regretful) of the other.
- ghufran_syed 4y agoyou don’t get a diploma if you don’t graduate… but you still have to pay back any loans
- bastawhiz 4y agoSure. But the cost is, at least, well known up front. Again, it's not good. On the other hand, you've got boot camps. Nobody chooses a boot camp over college, it's folks who realized they need to change direction. The target market is people who are often desperate, who don't realize they're going to get an underwhelming education, and who often don't get a job to pay for the boot camp afterward.
