Looking back, I regret the $2,000 I spent on a 'career accelerator' bootcamp that promised a guaranteed job.
The program was all hype and outdated material, and I ended up landing my current role through a simple connection I made at a local meetup six months later.

Two thousand dollars for a bootcamp that didn't even have current info? What were they teaching, how to fix a printer from 2008? That's a brutal price for a lesson you could have gotten for free at a coffee shop.

Watch this happen with everything from cooking classes to car repairs now. People will pay a premium for the idea of a shortcut, even when the free info is right there. It's like we're buying the promise more than the product.

It's the same old hustle, just with new buzzwords (remember those "get rich quick" infomercials?). They sell you a shortcut because real connections and skills take time.
