In a few years, the language of choice will change again. You have to constantly update your skills if you want to stay relevant.
That's true whether you get a degree or go to code camp.
Most IT/CS guys I know have to develop a skill set on top of whatever they do at work to remain competitive.
As to OP,
Coding bootcamps are the new gold rush. If you get in early, like right now, and get a job with some start up, you can parlay that into more money, more training, more certs, and an a degree in CS if that's what you want.
The advantage that the bootcamp has over learning it yourself is that a good bootcamp places its graduates..for now.
As boot camps get more popular, the startups and companies are going to be more and more discriminating.
Either way you're going to be on the employee treadmill.
