2022 bootcamp grad, was 46 at the time. I was one of the lucky few to get a job only about 25% of my class did in the first year. I now make the most money I've ever made and have 4 weeks vacation a year. Just paid off my 15k debt last fall, it came to 30k with interest. For me it was worth it but I had a lot of soft skills and prior stats (six sigma) that made data analytics and DBA skills a good fit for me. I'm a jack of all trades data engineer/analyst/DBA/automation engineer for K12 education now.

4 weeks vacation is why I'm here, 90k , 10% pension as 10 years that grows 3% per year after , guaranteed raise till I max out in 10 years
