That you can just go to a bootcamp, and be good at or naturally suited for it.

That you can go to college and get a degree, and be good at or naturally suited for it.

Eh, I'm naturally good at it. I got shoved into the programming UIL group in school with absolutely no background in programming and tied for 3rd place.

But, I really don't enjoy doing it.
