Can I ask what you are doing instead and how you picked up programming skills? I have tried doing algorithm and data structures myself in depth. It honestly feels hopeless at times. And did you ever think about detouring into law again?

Awesome, thanks for the detailed response. I would love to follow up. How should I contact you?

Awesome thanks. A related question, what are your thoughts on a complementary discipline? If you want to be sort of an all around engineer not just CS?

Do you think there's a difference between bachelor v masters?

Awesome, thanks. If you could attend a top university at the same price as a bootcamp would you have done it?

Awesome thanks. I agree there's definitely some interesting possibilities between law and tech especially in regulatory research. Do you have a particular preference for undergrad v grad?

I'm Canadian! I would prefer to end up in the West coast/California, but I don't think I can afford a top US degree.

I see alot of mixed news about bootcamps. How did you make the decision to attend one, and how did you know which one to attend?

Thanks for the response! Here are my reasons.

First, I think the legal industry as it stands is due for a huge shake up. Alot of junior associate work will be automated away.

Second, I enjoy creating things. Law doesn't really put me in a position to do that. Making my first silly game was really cool.

Third, my personality fits better with engineers. People are more relaxed and interested in solving problems rather than focusing on appearances.

Fourth, the dream. I spent sometime in the West coast and want to see if I can make it as an entrepreneur.

Does that help?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the comment. Do you think there's a difference between pursuing a undergrad degree v grad? From my limited experience so far is that undergrad classes are better in terms of teaching fundamentals.
