I've noticed the most common piece of advice here after "read the side bar" and "spin more plates" is "learn to code" so I thought to ask this here especially since I prescribe to the more self improvement side of red pill philosophy. I am turning 23 and entering my second year at a mid level MBA Program. I like the courses, network a bunch, and I got enough scholarship/ college savings money to graduate debt free but I recognize that graduates from top tier schools will always hold the competitive edge. Therefore I'm always trying to level myself up and narrow down my career goals via internships and online courses.

Since COVID ruined the paid internship opportunities, I settled for two part time unpaid ones which let me focus most of my free time on cool classes I find on udemy. I especially liked the OSINT and beginner hacking courses I bought initially for shits and giggles but steadily grew to enjoy because they were also supplemented with programming lessons that I found super fascinating even though I have almost no experience with computer science.

I bought some actual coding courses that were on sale too and am grinding through them but I feel a classroom environment is better suited towards my learning style. I also have so much money left over in my savings program that will remain untaxed so long as I use it for "higher education" so I figure the best investment would be something like a coding boot camp. Are they still worth it in 2020 (I know COVID leaves that ambiguous) and what new careers would open up to me with my combined MBA and coding certification? Product Management seems like one decent avenue.
