These expensive 10K tuition bootcamps are get-rich quick schemes. You can learn how to code for free with the same or better material (Free Code Camp, Odin Project). Plus their deferred tuition contract probably gets sent to a collections agency to ruin your FICO score if you don't pay the Brogrammer. If this camp cost $500 or even $1000 then MAYBE it could be worth it. Most probably not though. Buyer beware. Also, the days of bootcamp grads getting six figure salaries are gone. You're 10 years too late. AI tools are like the tractor was to farmers. No serious company hires a bootcamp grad unless they need to for DEI quotas.

HOW ABOUT OVERSATURATION? I am not able to enter frontend jobs because there are too many and there are fewer jobs, and it is really hard to not do basic projects since the competition is very high? In today's market, what stack do you prefer?

[@Usman_000]

Is it possible to get a part time job in Web Development career, for long run?? Plz answer for both for Frontend and Backend.

I have questions about a older junior dev and the ability to overcome that in a new career. I think I would be a good addition but i was successful in my previous career, but I want a clean shift to something different. People will ask why are I am not staying in that successful career and why change now. Any thoughts on what to expect in the agism area?

You definitely got this, I would say show up the best way you can with your technical knowledge (portfolio/projects) as well as your soft skills and show how your transferable skills from previous careers can benefit not only you but the team as well. You have experience that others can’t compete with.

Is there any chance to get job or freelancing opportunities as I don't have any more education certificate rather then 12th class?? Is degree very helpful to get a good high salary job or skilled person is going to slay more than from degree holder??

It's a vicious cycle. 9-5 robotic slavery.

To struggle, to labor and toil... just to find out it was in vain.
