in my opinion, hack schools are a complete waste of money. For $ 10k you are over paying. Personally as an Economics major I started with codeacademy a few months ago, git the basics and then started a project. between stack overflow, a dozen other forums and github I am learning quite a lot, and with results. Part of software engineering is quality if products not background academically and am sure with one more year I could be a more than passable apprentice in this
- icegreentea 13y agoshrug depending on exactly how the instructional hours work out, ~10k for 8-12 weeks is actually more or less on par with standard engineering tuition. For example, I pay ~7k for 13 weeks of actual instruction (exams don't count I feel...) at ~25 formal instructional hours from professors/TAs per week. I mean, there's lots of opportunities for informal instructional hours to get your value for your money, but honestly, like ~80% of students don't take advantage of that anyways.
