there might be an abundance of CS majors these days, but its been argued that there still is a lack of quality CS majors (http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2014/01/08/are-there-too-many-students-going-into-computer-science/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2014/01/08/are-there-too-m...). so if you can do the dev bootcamp and become a super hacker, then its worth it. on another note, McKinsey predicts there will be a shortage of data scientists in the upcoming years, of 140-190K. (http://www.mckinsey.com/features/big_data http://www.mckinsey.com/features/big_data). If you are good at math/statistics and are willing to learn how to code, data science boot camps may be something to consider (see below). Right now a lot of data scientists are people with PhD's but this likely won't be the case in a few years. My guess is data science bootcamps will start sprouting all over the place very soon (perhaps its lagging the dev bootcamp wave by 2-3 years..) http://www.thisismetis.com/data-science http://www.thisismetis.com/data-science http://www.thedataincubator.com http://www.thedataincubator.com
