I'm talking about recruiting graduates, the fact that most jobs are not 
for graduates is irrelevant. Obviously the more experience you have the 
less consideration is given to your education, so when you have zero 
experience, education is the most important thing on your CV. I'd even 
say that which university you went to is more important than what grade 
you got.

Maybe tweaking school slightly would filter up to the rest of society 
though. Maybe then we would not allow any Tom Dick or Harry who knows 
how to operate a tyre fitting machine to call themselves an Engineer. 
Whereas now we have news stories about hairdressers arguing over whether 
anyone should be allowed to be called a hairdresser or not.
