In a Boston basement that houses a new kind of vocational training school,
Katy Feng says she’s working harder than she ever did at Dartmouth College.
The 22-year-old graduated last year with a bachelor’s degree in psychology
and studio art that cost more than a quarter-million dollars. She sent out
dozens of résumés looking for a full-time job in graphic design but wound
up working a contract gig for a Boston clothing store. “I thought, they’ll
see Dartmouth, and they’ll hire me,” Feng says. “That’s not really how
it works, I found.” She figures programming is the best way to get the job
she wants. Hence the basement, where she’s paying $11,500 for a three-month
crash course in coding.
