If you want to do a bootcamp solely to make $130K a year and change your life, become a police officer in San Francisco instead - hundreds made over $300K last year (see source). You only need a GED!

It's not a joke, no, I called it semi-serious because the day to day is SO different than programming that if someone was already a SWE this might not make sense. The message is important though - genuinely if someone is doing something like line cook at a restaurant and doesn't know how to program and is interested because of the outcomes, that there are a lot of very high paying other jobs to consider. Using police officers in SF as an example, but a lot of similar jobs in SF pay a lot too! But there aren't YouTube sponsorships from your favorite creators from SFPD like there are for bootcamps.
