I'm considering a year-long program in full-stack web development, but I'm unsure if it's worthwhile. I don't have a bachelor's degree and my main experience is in natural stone restoration. I've also started my own small business, but I'd really like to expand my skills so I'm not stuck with part-time work. What do you think? Would completing this program make job hunting easier?

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. The completion rate is only 76%, which means about a quarter of students drop out. That doesn't sound great for job prospects afterwards.
I get where you're coming from, but keep in mind that a lot of tech jobs are open to people with skills, even without a degree. Just make sure to research the program thoroughly before committing to see if it fits your needs!
Yea, I figured it might be iffy. Just tough since there aren’t many trade schools nearby.
