As a FairyGodboss VIP I'm looking to potentially enter digital marketing field but I have no formal experience.
I am seriously considering joining a boot camp that will last for 6 months for a local university certification course. It will cost around $7k for the course and I just don't know if I can afford it or will it be worth the investment to build the skills (will I find work or be employable post graduation?)

I work in digital marketing and I would suggest that rather than taking the boot camp right away, see if you can get into a digital marketing company by joining their sales team or customer service team. That way you'll get to know the business and industry, and then can figure out if the boot camp is worth it.

IMO don’t do the bootcamp unless you are okay with it resulting in nothing. You can certainly gain experience in other ways while you consider your target field.
