One of my friends had done a coding boot camp and told me she really enjoyed it.
The boot camp was intenseI quit teaching after summer school in 2021 and started the boot camp in August.
The boot camp provided us with a career coach, but some of my classmates never broke into tech or returned to what they were doing.
The boot camp seemed like the only way for me to transition into techI'll be done paying off the boot camp in October.
I saw the boot camp as the best way to learn the skills I needed to transition into tech.
