Question to US foreign programmers

I absolutely need to leave my country. Nobody would employ a programmer because nobody needs it, I guess. The most IT-related job is a Windows 2000 system manager, this fucking sucks. No Unix, no C and no ASM, it's like living in a cum filled loose pussy. I don't want to teach kids how to write Pascal programs...School system in my country is the worst in Europe and they don't pay enough.
Yes, I said Europe. And yes, Italy is exactly like an average African country, at least technologically and politically speaking. Now, I'd really like to move to US, but I'm not really sure about what I have to do. First, would MIT accept me as a foreign student? I have a secondary high school diploma. Second, is there any chance of finding a job as a programmer in US for a foreign worker?
I'm not poor or shit like that, I can't just stand this fucking country. Speaking English is not a problem, as you can see ( at least I don't think it is ). Are there any Europeans working in USA?
Also, what about Japan? I'd really like to work there, I love Asian chicks and tight pussy.

if you want to get a halfway decent programming job in the states you are going to need a college degree. period. I don't know what kind of standardized tests they have in italy but I would look into taking the SAT's so you can start applying to universities in america (you are gonna need 800's for MIT to even open your application). colleges love foreign students for a number of reasons so just look around.
