So I have been in education for the last 11 years after graduating with a Masters in Physics. I recently left my job and I am now looking for a new career. I am really thinking about doing something in IT but I am not sure what. I have not coded before, but I have used programs like Mathematica and LaTex extensively. I am hoping that will give me a bit of a leg up. I am thinking about doing a coding bootcamp, there are a ton of options around me. My hope is to get trained in less then 6 months since we cant afford to live off just my wife's salary. I am hoping to find a entry level position where I will be able to continue to learn while working. Cost is probably my #1 factor since I just moved across the country and we wiped out most of our savings. I am currently leaning towards nucamp since their program is the cheapest and they offer in person support. It would be a full stack program, which seems to be what most boot camps are offering. I know that Georgia Tech also offers an in-person coding bootcamp that is similar in price. Another program I have looked into is Udacity and I have seen some mixed things about them online. I have also considered WGU but that is a much more expensive program and also would take much longer. They do offer different fields though, like cloud computing and web development. I really have no idea what would be best for someone just starting out like me. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated.
