The boot camp, I think, roughly is $9,700 if it's paid in full.

There's several different programs out there that have a variety of costs.

It ranges, I'd say, somewhere between $8,000 and $15,000 depending on the program.

The one I'm looking at in particular, they claim to have a 90% job placement rate and 100% money back guarantee if you don't find a job within the first six months after completion.

The flat cost, if you pay in full, is $9,700 for the one I'm interested in.

Otherwise, you can finance it or make it an installment.

It's 16 weeks.

It's online.

They say the average workload is 20 to 25 hours.

It's self-paced, so you can actually work full-time.

So I could theoretically go find any other job and work full-time in the day and then do this at night.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I was thinking about trying to find a different full-time job and also working part-time on the side, but I'm also trying to figure out how I can...

make all that happen.

But I think the bigger concern was that I just wasn't going very far in the current career I was in and needed to find something that I could actually enjoy going to work to do.

And I think something in this data science field would be right up my alley.

It's just a matter of how do I get there?

I'm 28.

That's a great question.

Um, I mean, for context, uh, I was, I was, uh, netting 2,700 a month after taxes and deductions and had full healthcare coverage in a matching 401k.
