That's an article about how Siemens offers internships to high school graduates, so unless you don't count internships as jobs, there is at least one loophole in that statement. Clearly Siemens sets high standards for who they want to hire and attempts to use college degrees as a filtering mechanism. But the entire article is about how trainable the workforce needs to be, and starts by talking about how high school graduates are flunking basic math skills needed. You can learn anywhere. There is nothing special about university for the vast majority of people to learn there. Fortunately thanks to the internet it's easier than ever to learn technical skills today, if you have any sort of work ethic and desire.
