Screw Microsoft! There are plenty of underemployed and under skilled people right here in the good old US of A that would really like to take advantage of such a program. Heck, I would be all over it just to get out of Systems Admin and Engineering. The IT career field seems to be so hostile towards Americans. Managers seem to prefer H1B visas and labor importation. Co-workers have strong egos and are constantly trying to climb the ladder by making others look inferior. I, for one, am sick of it. This is precisely why I just gladly put 12 years of experience in IT in the trash can and became a truck driver. No PHB, no egotistical coworkers, just a nice job where I get to see the country. Sure, I only make 26K right now but it's only for 6-8 months. Once I get more experience under my belt, I'm looking at 60s to 70s. No on call work, I have a dedicated run and I'm home on weekends. I have truck that has the creature comforts of an RV. Hopefully, I'll never have to look back at the BSOD and General Failure again!
