Connecting the chart to bootcamp growth and decline makes sense. The trend is not pretty in the short term, and at the end of the day it shows 3 years at/above 100 and 3 years at/below 100. But without data/graphs on the previous 20 years, it's a little hard to make an informed p

Yeah it could go back up for sure and I hope it does!
The main point I'm trying to make which I didn't explicitly call out any specific programs, is that this chart is showing very clearly what the reality has been since 2018 and people can compare that to them for themselves to the marketing that they're hearing from specific boot camps.
The boot camps know exactly that this is what the market was like and they see their numbers fluctuate with the market. I talk to them and I know this. and I think that this is why a lot of bootcamps have changed their tune in the past year or two about how they market themselves and the message that they make.
for example, all those guaranteed jobs that you heard about in 2020 at the peak went away and the marketing message changed for a lot of programs.
and I think that people should be trusting programs that have been transparent with them and should stay away from programs that have been not telling them transparently what's going on.
