It is very important today to gain as many skills as possible to survive in the work market. There are more applicants than ever before for one single job. Because of this, for catching the employers attention, people have to do extra courses and gain more knowledges, licenses or diplomas. I personally did something similar before. I did a couple weeks of sports science/coaching class in an independent organization for which I had to pay, just because I am interested in this topic and it helped me to improve my coaching skills. My parents not just support me doing things like this; they even want me to make do this. I gained important skills in this class, which are even helping me in college now. So I barely suggest everyone to attend non-college programs.

The last comment:

I respect your point of view Mohammed but I disagree with some of them. I agree that the boot camps could be a jumpstart in your career because they focuses in skills to feed the momentary needs of the market. Still, I have second thoughts about if they can provide enough skills to survive and grow in a competitive market over the years. Since they last for a few months, the boot camps cannot replace all the knowledge acquired in a full college degree. I would consider take both if it is possible because they can complement each other. However, If it is not possible to participate of both, I would definitely choose the college degree.
