I think it&#x27;s a question of barriers. You can&#x27;t charge tens of thousands (often totaling hundreds of thousands) of dollars and many years for a professional degree and expect folks to buy it over other options that cost far less time and far less money.<p>I&#x27;m not saying coding bootcamps are panacean, but hiring does occur at such places and their cost (again, in terms of time &amp; money) is a fraction of the cost of traditional professional education.<p>Professional education will need to adapt. I&#x27;ve heard of disaster-prone areas producing doctors in a matter of weeks. I don&#x27;t want to be treated by a doctor who only has 8 weeks of training, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s a bad start to a more, immersive, apprenticeship-based program that allows candidates to earn decent money while learning the full profession.
