<p>The economy is not improving. Even in the Great Depression the economy fluctuated up and down. The structural underpinnings of our economy are very weak and unstable now. The stock market is fool’s gold and real estate is local. </p>
<p>In the other hand, the only economy that matters and can most easily be fixed by you is your personal economy.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I think that it’s arrogant to tell others to get out of the way unless they’re willing to support you in unemployment with personal checks. Good luck with your job search. We’re working with our daughter on the job search stuff too. She will graduate with her ASCS this spring and has the option of going for a four-year degree or to look for work. I have a friend that’s looking for interns for an interesting project and I thought about asking him if he’s still looking for a few people.</p>
<p>I hope that you find success in your job search.</p>

<p>There are areas that are doing well but this morning’s economic reports show that there are limits to what Central Banks can do.</p>

<p>Check this one out. That $200K+ education is being replace by a 12 week programming course.</p>
<p>^Agreed.</p>
<p>I hear positive news reports at times that hype a single piece of positive data. Again, there was good news in the middle of the Depression, signs of hope even. However, the fact then and now is that its not a recovery until people have recovered.</p>
<p>People are not recovering. I see people working like beasts of burden to keep jobs only to lose them and then taking a year or two to find another if they’re lucky.</p>
<p>And a growing economy doesn’t ask people to get out of the way to make room for others. A growing economy creates new opportunities and new wealth.</p>
<p>Only countries like China, Cuba, Venezuela and Europe want people to retire and die as fast as possible. Some countries even aid the process.</p>

<p>Wonder what their selection criteria are?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Based on that, they can probably cover about half to two-thirds of the CS material found in a decent traditional CS bachelor’s degree. I.e. probably similar in volume to what someone with a CS minor might have learned, though the better bootcamps probably target the most important topics in industry that students in traditional universities might not target as well in choosing their courses. Of course, the bootcamps don’t include a “broad education in the liberal arts”, though the example students in the article presumably got that doing their previous bachelor’s degrees.</p>
