It's more about acquired knowledge and skills than your IQ. We can teach you the skills that you will need to pass your interview, but you need to stay motivated to find the experience.

There are a few general topics with related specifics.

Dev Basics: Git, terminal commands, github, heroku, AWS, deployment

Ruby Basics: variables, objects, iteration, recursion, conditional logic, methods, classes

Rails Basics: models, views, controllers, API calls

Javascript: AJAX calls, promises, async design, assets

HTML: dom manipulation, CSS, browser tools

An additional frontend framework: React

The reason there are bootcamps is that the jobs are out there. People need employees with these skills. We can’t guarantee you a job right after class, but we are confident that after the course you will find interviews.

You're right. But if you want to change in a dramatic way you have to do something different. We can help you through the process. Let’s start coding together.
