Is that good or bad? And what’s a boot camp? And what’s a Corinthian College? Other than that, I’m totally with you.

The proliferation of unaccredited ux bootcamps vs places like Devry or ITT Tech.

I kinda agree, but it depends heavily on the field I think. In CS/coding-oriented careers, boot camps have a pretty good track record and job placement success rates - but there's a lot more money in those industries, which make them more likely to succeed in general.

A boot camp for design or a softer skill-set, like we often use as creatives, sounds like a waste of money compared to the portfolio you can build without one, just using online learning.

Exactly.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start. I have a therapist and working on my trust issues - but I have self confidence issues. I’ve been burned for being ‘unattractive’. But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?
