Is Treehouse Techdegree Worth the Price?

hi so it's me again i am currently about a third of the way through the treehouse tech degree program for front and web development and now that i've made a few weeks in i wanted to go over is the price worth it so starting out it is 199 a month and then if you have a valid.edu email it brings the price down to 169 a month the programs range anywhere from i think three to nine months long on average duration i think the front-end web development program is maybe three to eight or four to eight anyways that's beside the point so yeah is it worth the price so first off what do you get with the treehouse tech tree program um the biggest thing for me is you get a portfolio at the end so you do all your project all of your projects all nine of them and then at the end you obviously keep all those projects and then you can show them to potential employers or whatever you want to do with them you have them um the second thing that you get is the office hours um that's not really beneficial for me because i am so far behind um the time zone that treehouse operates in which i believe is um west coast time i think they're based out of portland so it does seem like when i'm needing help and i'm stuck on things the office hours aren't going on um so yeah that's not really a benefit to me but definitely could be to people um i guess in the continental us so anyways what else you get you get the slack community i know i've said that a bunch before but that really i don't know if i could do this program without the slack community you have these people um to help you answer questions other students and moderators that can help you just figure out things so that's always really nice there's not always people on but there is a good chance that your question at least be answered you know within within eight hours i would guess so what else do you get um compared to an online bootcamp it's pretty cheap so i'm not quite sure how much the online bootcamps are like the ones that you attend like eight hours a day but i think they're upwards of like fifteen thousand ten to fifteen thousand someone correct me if i'm wrong i'm not really sure um so for what you get yes i do think that it can be worth the price um because it is self to pace with that being said if you take the self pace to a i don't know a really literal level and you take months and months to do one project and once a month to another project that can really make that price go up there but if you really um set a timeline for yourself like for me right now i'm turning up turning a project in every monday so i'm doing one project a week however some of these projects later on are upwards of like 20 hours plus to complete the project so once i get to that stage then i'll be giving myself two weeks to complete a project um then that is to go over the content required for the project and then completing the project so but as of right now i'm working on my fourth project and i will turn that in on monday so anyways what else do you get you get the finished portfolio the office hours the online it is an online self-paced kind of boot camp i guess um you get the slack community which is which is great um and then lastly um there's no guesswork which is really awesome with this program it's not like you need to go and be like okay do i need to learn this do i need to learn this or can i skip this or anything like that it just tells you straight out like what you need to do and it has all the videos just laid out for you all the quizzes and then they all line up with the projects there's no guesswork you just you just get it done um which is really really nice um so yeah with those things i guess there was you get the finished portfolio you get the office hours you get the slack community um it is a fairly cheaper version of an online bootcamp um and then the office hours so yeah is all of that worth it i guess i mean obviously that's up to you i'm not really sure if it's worth it i do think the program in itself is worth it but i don't know if it's worth that higher price tag i would think it needs to be closer to like 150 um i would think between like i don't know 125 150 would be a more reasonable price and my biggest reason for that is that um when you're turning in your projects um it's not like teachers or anything like that that are grading your projects it's other students which is good and bad um other people that are in your same shoes they have just done these projects as well so they're more fresh and versed up and worse on them but they are also students so if you have questions in there they might not know how to answer them and they just tell you to go ask the slack channel which is fine um because you can't get most of your questions answered there but yes so i do find it kind of odd that um you're paying 100 to some of these projects and then someone else is paying 100 is grading your projects um so yeah i know it gives you like real world experience um grading other people's projects and seeing how they got to this end goal um and although both your projects look the same they might look completely different um within the code which is nice for the world experience i think that's their reasoning but it would be nice that they also were double checked by a professor or sorry like a teacher or anything like that so yeah that is my biggest complaint am i still going to pay for and finish it yes of course i am so i do really like treehouse tech degree um it is the best program that i found so yeah if you guys have any questions let me know um do you think it's worth it does anybody watch these videos i don't know all right i'll see you later
