Verna Felton already has a job at Microsoft, but the position she really wants is that of protege to Donald Trump.
Felton, 31, is one of 18 candidates competing on this season's installment of the NBC show "The Apprentice." This year, the show is pitting street smarts against book smarts, with nine of the candidates having graduated college and the other nine having skipped higher education and headed straight into the working world.
Felton falls on the "book smarts" side, having earned a master's degree in business communications before pursuing her marketing dreams at Microsoft.
Officially, Microsoft declined to comment on Felton's "apprenticeship" beyond confirming that she indeed works for the software giant. However, several Redmondites have posted blog items supporting one of their own.
