Great idea! Now we just need to find some excellent teachers to train the unemployed. Perhaps we can find a few more retired millionaire MIT graduates willing to volunteer their time? In seriousness, I do think more people should consider programming as a vocation. It's good work if you can get it. Even our "crappy" jobs pay as much as the US median family income (seriously, look it up). But I don't think you can learn it in 3 days. It takes years, and not everyone is going to be good at it -- look at the people who are already programmers!
