There's plenty of free classes I'd take before spending the money.

We'll just hire and train up more H1B workers to take your jobs anyways.

What's your current career?

Damn, when someone told you “learn to code” you took that shite serious.

Everything I’ve read is it’s not worth it unless you are seriously obsessed with this kind of thing and are willing to fork over all your free time for the next 6 months-year to sit in front of the computer and make something worthwhile for your portfolio to show to companies to try to get hired

Find every free resource and class you can find about it, before committing to one of those expensive arse camps. Find out what kind of shite you actually want to do with it. See if it’s something you want to do, or if it’s just something that sounds better than restaurant management (which to be honest isn’t a very high bar, in terms of quality of life/job enjoyment)

Well , how is the AG business market going to fare after all this

You should look into software/technical sales. Higher ceiling and you only need to be somewhat familiar with the workloads you are looking to allocate to help drive tangible business outcomes.

Learning to code could probably further your career in this actual field. I was about to make fun of you... but with a little intuition, you could probably make bank.

Software has a big future in India

There’s always a free way to learn whatever language, framework, methodology that you’re interested in.
Go that route and only pay if it’s a more obscure language (like scala) or you need to really go in-depth. If it’s something common like java, python, etc, you can teach yourself.

Thought that same thing when I went back to school for IT, still a massive need for developers here in the US that are citizens.

Introductory course from MIT free ($75 if you want a certificate, more if you want transferrable credit)
Absolutely kick-arse teachers on this one.
And here's a less-structured version of the same course, basically videos of the lectures and packages of problem sets and materials from the live class at MIT. 6.00sc

Wife and I both work in IT for a Fortune 300. We’ve got a few guys (and girls) on both our teams that went through boot camps. Besides your first role out of camp, no one will care whether you went to a university, went to a boot camp or learned to code from StackOverflow or YouTube or whatever. Just that you know what the frick you’re doing.
They’re intense, meaning you’ll be learning during 12 hours days, 7 days a week for like 4-6 months. A lot of the folks going through these are doing it for a career change. Most worked for someone else for a year who paid their tuition then bounced. You’ll make shite pay for IT (40-50k) your first role then can bounce to another company for twice that.
If I had to choose between a fresh college grad and someone who just graduated a boot camp after switching careers; boot camp 10 out of 10 times. Usually more mature, more educated on the real world of development and what’s actually useful.
100% agree. Anyone saying otherwise is a complete fool.

I'll point out, there's a lot more to IT than just being a code monkey. Combining management skills with a GOOD understanding of the technical aspects of computing and what it can get you as a company seems to be still very rare. (lots of managers think they know what it's all about. From what I read and have seen, few do)
Learning enough to get a foot in the door without committing to sell yourself as a developer, given your background, might be an easier road, and a much better one in the long run.

no that trend has passed, companies that went offshore because it was cheap ended up coming back onshore because the quality of support or product you get from those cutrate offshore shops doesn't make it worthwhile
vietnam is the next big one. young and increasingly educated (cheap) workforce
