I currently work as a server. So, if I went the bootcamp/self-taught route, I’d be applying without a degree and from a completely unrelated field. With that in mind, I’m estimating that it would take me about 2yrs, maybe less, to get my degree and cost $ 7,600. I know boot camps are usually faster than that, but they aren’t too much cheaper. So, I’m wondering if, in my situation, the benefit of a degree would out way the ~ extra year and the time after spent learning job specific skills.
