I recently graduated with a 4-year CS degree from a decent University and currently in a data science boot camp. I'm also keenly passionate about education and more options in education.

Here are things that a 4-year degree does that a boot camp does not do necessarily:

-How to do research in Computer Science. There are algorithms that while aren't in used in most applications, may find a use in a very lucrative application somewhere (aka Search). A Computer Science degree gives depth to Theory and the math involved with that theory.
-Breadth - A 4-year degree gives a person a broad education not in subjects that don't matter (like humanities) I mean in electives within the field that you study. A 4-year CS degree could include introductions to mobile development, web development, machine learning, principles of software engineering, and so forth. A boot camp focuses on a very specific stack and mostly only focuses on web development.
