If you go from minimum wage to a job making $50k+, the lifetime earnings from that makes $30k an outrageously good ROI. Especially since the $30k is not up front and only contingent on success.


No it doesn't. You can get the same education for much less (in other countries, other bootcamps, on your own etc.). Additionally, you take a big risk by foregoing income for 9 months. How do you think a person who had minimum wage before would pay for their life during those 9 months?
