sorry for double posting but i just need to add 2 cents to this.

the other big factor that a lot of 'educated' people mistake is that the job is granted based on ability over attitude. you can train a monkey to perform surgery, but a company needs someone who can work along with the rest of its staff and in line with the corporate policies and procedures, especially if it's a specialized position. attitude and behavior go a LONG way and just fronting large because you have a degree and nothing else has the kind of reek that any competent HR person can smell from outside the building.
