Yes, anyone that has gone through lots of courses and STILL keeps looking to learn is pretty dedicated to start with, even before bringing money into it. Udacity gets you thinking on your own. It teaches you principles then presents a blank screen and says 'now make something that does XYZ' That's a whole world away from a pre populated page of code where you type between the quote marks. Going from a blank page to something that works - where the steps, logic and reasoning are all your own - THAT's what makes beginners jump around the room with excitement. Beginners also often need to be reminded that if you get stuck your job is to stop coding and find out.
