I believe the initial blame can be placed with government, they have pushed the view that degrees are everything and everyone must have one. This has resulted in companies ignoring those candidates without a degree, next it will be everyone needs a masters, then a phd etc.
I work with engineers in their late 20s and early thirties, and the majority have very little experience of real engineering. True they can explain the theory behind splitting the atom, but it's best to keep them well away from a screwdriver.
