True. The door swings both ways. Personal experience of CS grads with a 
few years experience and hardly any knowledge of security or <insert 
another N skill areas here> and little knowledge the IT the 
industry/solutions/best practices etc seems to nullify this argument.

Well, let's just all agree to get on with real world work and hope you 
never have to interview with Tethys since qualifications and even 
experience don't seem to help with him, what can you do?! ;-)

I hope Tethys at least appreciates that at the end of the day it all 
comes down to the individual.
