Coding or Software BOOT CAMPS?

[acamp]

I emplore you not to pay a large amount for a boot camp without doing some other form of study, and finding that you have an apptitude for it. Good engineers are born, not made, and trying to force yourself into that path without having apptitude for it will just be an exercise in frustration, and a road to wasting a lot of money on that boot camp.

If you can finish an introductory programming course or two, and find that you master the material easily and are able to do independent programming projects, THEN consider the boot camp, or even a full-blown BS/BA in CS. If you like computers, but don't find programming to be all that exciting, then you may want to consider an IT career instead. It can be every bit as lucrative as being a software engineer, but requires a slightly different skill set and temperament.

Thank you for clarifying that. As for IT, if I were to try to pursue that path instead of programming, do you have any suggestions as to what to start with to get trained with the skills needed? Thank you!
