I think it says more about how unrelated traditional CS programs are to getting students "work force ready".
While I wont deny the foundational knowledge that CS degrees can offer, it doesn't seem to make much a difference in earning potential.
The biggest difference between CS degree holders and bootcampers / no degree holders is the amount of time + effort required to land that first job. It seems that once you land that first job, there is not a huge difference in earnings between traditional and non-traditional engineers.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out over time. I'm curious what the average earnings will be between bootcampers vs 'others' in 15-20 years.
