The graduate has proven that he could get a degree. He too can still be
the clown that walks in with a degree. And the guy that walks in and
says that he can do it has at least a 50/50 chance of being able to do
it. Almost with certainty a fresh graduate with no work history will
still have to be taught, by the employer.

Sorry, I have to agree with Mike here. (Both of them could be clowns)
The graduate at a minimum, has essentially demonstrated that he *can*
learn and *can* be taught. He's proven that he has learned the basics
~ at least one would hope so if he was hired into a profession that
the got a degree for.

We're talking about all things being equal. And at that comparison,
the school accredited person should win out every time.
