And not too distance reasons why boot-camps are everywhere.You try to make computer science/tech looks like extra ordinary adventures.I repeat you don't need four walls of university to learn almost everything you need to know in computer science.
If i had had information that i have now,i would have dropped out of college in a heartbeat.I don't need to give you any example of people who drop out of computer science study and still excel.They are everywhere.Don't say that these folks are exception because they are not.
I understand that some folks need structure to excel in anywhere they find themselves in life.

I am a big fan of college education.But computer science is just not one of them.That is my experience.YMMV.My CTO has a degree in Visual Communication.He taught himself all what he knows.You know what,we both earn six figures,i can tell you that you wont know that he does not have any degree in computer science.

Aside,be ready to relocate if the need be for now.These are jobs in many bay area start ups.
In the interim,take a look at the following places and see if you can see what fits you http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?sort=p https://angel.co/jobs https://remoteok.io/ And if you are really good in Python,Data Structure and Algorithm,summit an application at https://www.google.com/about/careers/search#t=sq&q=j&li=10&j... You will be fine.
