(Ferenstein Wire) — Silicon Valley is racing ahead with its own alternative to college, and new research suggests that graduates are out-earning some of their diploma-wielding peers. So-called “coding bootcamps” are a cottage industry of fast-track private vocational schools for graduates looking to enter the competitive tech industry as software engineers, data scientists, and other in-demand jobs. Many graduates hold college majors notorious for slim earnings potential (like English majors), and are now fully employed in the tech industry making a lot more money. English majors earn $33,000 more after graduation (Engineering majors earn $3,000 more, by reference). Many have no prior coding experience at all to attending the intensive programs, which average 10 weeks long and cost about $9,000 (though, they can last much longer and cost twice as much).
