This explanation seems somehow off... Wouldn't a 1-2 years degree still show conformity and conscientiousness and delayed gratification? 1-2 years is no small thing. Don't normal employees also get bored and leave for a different job? I know for one I would hire kids out of high-school at my company if I had the need for extra work. If they pass the same tests as a college student does, I don't see why not? Not to mention that from past experience college students learn their 'trade' at the 1st job. There is really not a lot of value add in many college degrees.
