I know someone who does this. It works really well for him. My friend Luke Crawford - no obvious relation - owns http://prgmr.com/ http://prgmr.com/ a Xen VM and colocation hosting service. Most of his staff does tech support, but he also needs help setting up new VMs, dealing with stuff like live migration when he installs new boxen and takes old ones out of service. One of his very best employees is a Vietnamese citizen. He worked for Luke in Silicon Valley for a while, then went back to Vietnam, where he works remotely. A while back I stumbled across a picture of what Ho Chi Minh city looks like today. My father was a US Naval Officer who did a tour of duty in Saigon, as well as served as a missile fire control officer aboard the USS Providence. When I saw that recent picture of Ho Chi Minh City, I did not expect to see a whole bunch of gleaming skyscrapers. The Vietnamese weren't really looking for Communism. What they were looking for, was independence. When they finally got that they became the very best friends with the West.
