#2The title to this is excruciatingly obvious...

#3"Average starting salary: $74,447."
So they are paying them less than they would a recent college grad by something like 25%? no wonder they love hiring people out of these things.

#4"The Flatiron School’s 12-week course costs $15,000, but earns students no degree and no certificate."
Over $1000 a week per student, and their classes look big. Somebody is making lots of money off this. What do they pay their instructors?

I think you have a somewhat distorted view of the average starting salary of a college graduate:

I think this average takes into account salaries in other states as well, not just CA and NYC (where junior devs do make higher starting salaries). We've hired people fresh out of bootcamps at companies I've worked at in the past and in most cases, we offered them salaries pretty close to that of a recent grad.

A semester of tuition at a top-50 private university is $20-25k. Seems reasonable.

After 3.75 years of work experience, most of them will almost certainly be making more than a recent college grad.

NEITHER of them "seem reasonable"!
