I heard there will be an increase in need for Dentists in the next few years - AI resistant job. I'm an engineer but I want to become a dentist - can you give me a 12 week course so I can become a dentist. HECK NO! So why do people think they can become an engineer - a PROFESSIONAL JOB requiring a lot of training - in 12 weeks. It's not possible and all of the 'success cases' have caveats and nuances and edge cases and lying on your resume. There a lot of tech jobs you CAN do in 13 weeks, just like maybe you can be a Dental Assistant who takes moulds of people's mouths in 13 weeks, but you can't become a "Dentist".
