Can I take that as a compliment? Rather, to correct it (since I'm quite far from being a genius), you won't start very far up at Microsoft, but they take a lot of new grads. Think of it as investing in the future... if you survive...

On the other hand, don't go looking for a job like that or you'll likely end up with one. Depending on the location where you search for a job (and don't limit yourself), you can get an interesting position right out of school.

I did that in high school, so now I'm developing software. Put things in perspective a bit, it did. I'm certainly much happier now
