I'm 19yo and I'm going to do a coding bootcamp...

You have to spend money to make money

I don't think you realize that coding bootcamps are a scam, they don't teach you anything, so you won't be able to get employed

More like "Topics is am sparsely informed in"

Smart move. It’s basically like an investment, since it will pay off later. Actually, more like a lottery ticket that you already know is a winner.

69493419: here's your (you)

I hope this is one of those bootcamps that work to landing you a job in the industry after you complete it.

I'm entirely self-taught and have just started applying for jobs. Honestly, if bootcamps improved your chance of getting your first job in the industry, I'd have paid the 5k+ just for that alone.

9k is a pretty small investment, if you get a 6 figure job that aint too bad I guess. good luck

yeah, you spend it on formal education not some meme bootcamp. think logically for a second - what can you offer that countless of undergrads can't? if any corporation see you as a future prospect they'll teach you the shit you need to know themselves. i suppose for a complete beginner bootcamp might provide some insight of what they need to know to move forward but 9k is an absolute ripoff. you'd unironically learn more by browsing here for few months.

What if we're undisciplined like OP? How do do you go about changing yourself?

become disciplined?

Wait you paid $9000 to code ?.
What sort of probability is it that you'll find a full time, paid job at the end of it ?.

Oh okay! Brb

Seriously?

Okay. Say we're talking about programming:

Set yourself a reasonable goal. 25 minutes. Every single day, no excuses. You can program, follow a tutorial on YouTube or read a book on it. Doesn't matter. 25 minutes every day. Do it.

That's all there is to it. I did that two years ago and now I do programming at least two hours a day and spend an hour and a half studying to further that.

I could have a long discussion about habit formation, but major change is entirely possible so long as you're consistent.

Well I already know how to program just for other things in my life, like working out or learning spanish.

you joke, but believe it or not, you can actually become disciplined it just requires a little thing called effort and not being a lazy sack of trash all day
I hope that's not to hard for you

Dude endless probability. I don't care about debt anymore, my family is poor and I'm most likely descended from peasants but with the opportunities available aristocracy is no longer a far off dream.

Apply the same principle to learning Spanish.

As for exercise? Start with 5 minutes of strenuous exercise a day, then change that to 10 minute three times a week, then 15 minutes, then 20 etc.

>expertly navigate the file system

webdev is so boring though, good luck

You’re not getting a job in this area bucko lol
You know how many kids graduate every year with a degree in CS just in this area? You’re going to compete against them with your micro degree and those kids already have a hard time trying to find a job. Someone I knew took a 60k a year job after a year of trying to find any type of work.

Just read a training book for free you dumbass

noice, another entry level dev for me to dump all the work on for suboptimal pay

Yeah but charisma is everything

articles sponsored by bootcamps. You fell for the meme

Wow you're dumber than I thought. Have fun flipping burgers.

lmaooo OPs a fag

op, i dont know if you looked outside lately but there is a glut of coders coming through the system in the west, and 90% of the jobs are being outsourced to india. you'll only get a job in the us if you're in the top1% of asians and move to silicon valley. the rest of you are on the boat to PajTech.in in Mumbai to work on JS shit for corps at $5/h

$9000 is smaller than a semster at uni, You might make it depending on the school and where you are, ganbare!

>90% of the jobs are being outsourced to india
When somebody says this I know immediately they have no idea what they're talking about and are just spouting memes they heard on Jow Forums.

>email developer
What does this even mean? They teach you how to compose an email?

Make sure you bring aloooot of toilet paper. It isn't sold there after all!

How to code an email or an email client. I could also use it to get a job in the gmail branch of google or working for ymail or aol.

Not him but undergrad CS student, bootcamp grads can actually use meme front end frameworks, CS students cant

I made an email client in java once, it was awful.

please don't do this to yourself.

Why?

Good idea

Sometimes it's hard to put enough time into learning something today with all the readily available entertainment that sucks away your time

At first it will be hard, and if you where learning by your own, you would likely quit

But being on a Bootcamp, you paid for it, and the motivation will force your to learn

you'll learn enough to be able to make a finished product, be it a website or web app, that is actually online and anyone can visit through the URL

from there you'll be wanting to learn more by yourself

just a tip, don't try to focus on one large web project that will make you rich, make several small ones, learn new stuff

Also always look to get a Job, even if they pay you like shit, you'll be learning so much

But first of all, take the first set, join the Bootcamp

Could you learn all the stuff they teach you at the Bootcamp by yourself?

Sure, and probably even more, but lets be honest, you will lose motivation halfway through

the Bootcamp will force you to at least get the bare minimum knowledge so you can keep studying yourself, go for it

Yeah, all of this could easily be taught with free online tutorials.

>$9k for coding bootcamp
probably better to save that money and use it instead to go get some proper mental health care for whatever condition you have that is making you think this is a good idea

>I'm 19yo
>going 9000$ in debt.
Excellent bait, champ.

College focuses more on the academic and theoretical side of CS. Bootcamps usually push you through sit-in tutorials of the latest stack used in the industry whether you understand the principles or not. It can certainly be helpful if you need help learning and making friends but I would try a coursera or udemy course first considering the price difference

>Job placement rates at coding bootcamps widely vary, with industry placement records averaging above 65%. Some of the best coding bootcamps, like Epicodus, Fullstack Academy, and Coder Foundry advertise job placement rates above 90%, and other bootcamps even go so far as to guarantee job placement for all graduates.

Since the placement policies of OP's bootcamp are not known, all responses above this line
--------------------------------------------------------
are deemed baseless.

So, what's the written placement policy at your school?

if you go to a meme university then yeah you probably can't but decent universities provide extra courses for web development or whatever stupid shit you may want. bootcamp faggots can't code for shit which is why corps prefer niggas with degrees.
