They Told Me To Learn To Code

I did everything they said I should do: They said that if I wanted to make good money, learn to code I signed up for a coding bootcamp A few months later I got a job at a startup that paid decently (or at least, more than I've ever made) There were weeks when I woke up and did nothing but worked I actually believed in their product However, I made too many mistakes, and was fired. Now, I don't know if this career is even right for me. I'm saddled with even more debt from the bootcamp, and I'm trapped in a lease for an expensive apartment (they aren't even allowing me to invoke a buyout. I'll have to wait to move out in February. 211 was hardly any help). And I have no job. I'm scared. I'm bitter. And I don't know what to do. All I want…


I did everything they said I should do:

  • They said that if I wanted to make good money, learn to code
  • I signed up for a coding bootcamp
  • A few months later I got a job at a startup that paid decently (or at least, more than I've ever made)
  • There were weeks when I woke up and did nothing but worked
  • I actually believed in their product

However, I made too many mistakes, and was fired.

Now, I don't know if this career is even right for me. I'm saddled with even more debt from the bootcamp, and I'm trapped in a lease for an expensive apartment (they aren't even allowing me to invoke a buyout. I'll have to wait to move out in February. 211 was hardly any help). And I have no job.

I'm scared. I'm bitter. And I don't know what to do.

All I want to do is get out of America.
