Coding or Software BOOT CAMPS?

[Pats20]

Good evening all,
I have ZERO experience in coding or software engineering. I know that many of you do exactly that for your job so I just had a few questions if you could answer:

1) for someone like me with NO experience, do you recommend a certain reputable boot camp that I can complete part time while still working?   I have a family to support only on my teaching salary so I wouldn’t be able to complete it full time.  Ideally after the boot camp I could get employed.

2) I am more of a concrete-sequential type of a thinker, 2+2=4 type of a guy.  If I tend to be very black and white in how my brain operates, is coding and software engineering not for me?

3) is a starting salary of $100,000 or more unrealistic or doable when getting your first full-time job?

Side note - I am within commuting distance to NYC. Not that I would what to commute 5-days a week to the city, but I am within an hour to a 1.5 hour commute each way.

I had more questions but they slipped my mind at the moment hahah (long teaching day to say the least).  Thanks in advance everyone.

1) not sure on boot camps. You can probably research and find good ones that fit your schedule and budget 

2) I wouldn’t necessarily say that. If you’re willing to learn , I’d say you could do it. 

3) no it’s not realistic
