If you want to do front-end, don't worry about those coming out of uni/college. Front-end is a specialization that very few places teach. There is a huge range for front-end. You have people doing basically cut-up for marketing sites to people building front-ends that can scale up. My four big buckets I look for from a Front-End are: * Technical, can you make it work * Maintainable, can someone else keep it running and update it * Scalability, can you scale the solution up to millions of people (to be honest, most front-end don't need to worry about this) * "Precog", can you anticipate the issues that arise from users and their wide range of browsers + OS + hardware
