How Can I Get A Job Like That!

Most people with ANY job today are happy and I would certainly include myself in that category. However, there are jobs that have inherent “opportunities” – for adventure, fulfillment, etc. (you get the picture)… Joe Wilson, a Senior Director in the Academic Evangelism organization for Microsoft has one of those jobs. Joe is one of many people working on the 2009 Imagine Cup awards show in EGYPT!  Check out his video for yourself.  I was struck by the juxtaposition of the technology of putting on a modern event with the technology inherent in the pyramids in the background.

A bit of background on the Imagine Cup… Now in its seventh year, the Imagine Cup is a global student technology competition focused on finding solutions to real-world issues. The competition encourages the world's most talented software designers, programmers, game developers, photographers and filmmakers to tackle the toughest problems facing the world today.

Over 200,000 technology students around the world competed in the 2008 competition.

Do you want:

• To contribute your talents to tackling some of the toughest problems facing us today-and maybe even turn your ideas into a business one day?
• To learn new technology skills and test yourself against the brightest students on the planet?
• To make new friends from around the world?
• The chance to win cash prizes, internships at Microsoft, and even a free trip to Cairo, Egypt this July for the Worldwide Finals?

Since 2002, the Imagine Cup has been challenging the world's brightest students to step up and make a difference.

We're the world's premier student technology competition and we invite you to join us!
