We were newly married and working $16/hr with college degrees in Chicago.
Gary: "I was retired from the Air Force and the only job I can readily find was selling mattresses."
Karin: "I was was not happy with my wages after working so hard day in and day out."
Gary: "I soon found a coding bootcamp and decided to quit my illustrious career in the mattress business. I joined a coding bootcamp, completed it, and was soon working as a software engineering intern making $35/hr. After six months, I was offered a full time position earning $85k/yr".
Karin: "After seeing the outcome for Gary, I decided that I wanted the same thing. So I quit my job as well and signed up for Code Platoon. After completing the program, I am now working as a software engineer building a futures trading application making $70k/yr."
