Had a highly entertaining conversation at dinner last night.
Apply the @LambdaSchool model to all services:
- Personal trainer: still fat, not paying you
- Doctor: still sick, not paying you

Fitness and health outcomes require motivated consumers, but most consumers aren't motivated. Trainers & doctors, no matter how good, can't overcome consumers' lack of adherence to the regimen (e.g. 66% of patients either don't take their meds or take them improperly).

The LS model makes sense in 2 (potentially overlapping) cases, imo: (1) the service provider has immense control over outcomes, (2) the consumer is extremely motivated. So this model would make sense for law, consulting, etc in (1) & rethinking MBA education, CEO coaching in (2).

As a current LS student, that's my perception of what's going on. (1)
@AustenAllred & co. have huge control over curricula + job hunt support and (2) every single student is motivated because it's high-upside but big time commitment (w/ high opp'ty cost: I quit my job for it)2 replies 1 retweet 10 likes -

Did you have prior coding experience? As an older millennial, trying to figure out if I'm out of the demographic..

I don't think you'd be out of the demo. I'm a younger Millennial, but there are lots of older Millennials and Gen Xers in my cohort of ~100 people. And while I had some prior expertise, the spread is wide: some folks have a bunch of experience and some have none. It's all good.
