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! This is a semi-serious post, but I'm seeing far too much focus on the money in a lot of bootcamp marketing. A lot of controversy over the top bootcamps surrounds people not believing outcomes, and then alumni defending them as real, etc... So my advice if your number one priority is money and you don't have a particular interest in programming, is to become a POLICE OFFICER IN SAN FRANCISCO. [Here](https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/search/?a=san-francisco&q=police+officer&y=2023&s=-total) is a list of police offer public compensation: # 1,116 PEOPLE MADE OVER $200K ALL-IN IN 2023 Include base pay, overtime, benefits, other pay, and pension. [Here](https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/your-sfpd/careers/sworn-job-openings/salary-and-benefits) are the base salary and benefits (note officers make most money from overtime): [Here](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/CityAndCountyOfSanFrancisco1/3743990000761416-police-officer-san-francisco-police-department-q002-) is a link to the application
