There's some solid programming talent in Vietnam, they constantly amaze me with their skills and will work for a few hundred a week before they get poached by the states.
I've seen kids straight out of highschool who can write solid stuff and know git back to front compared to some lad with an Ivy league bachelor's who is basically clueless, needing his hand held for months and yet demanding 8x the wage.
I treat everyone who only has a degree and no real world skills with a lot of suspicion. There's plenty of ridiculously good hires out there.
