You're ignoring the context of the post. This is advice for what a new grad should do right now in this particular economy.
You're right that grad school is more effective after working a few years, but its still a better option that starvation if you can get into grad school with a stipend.
And if you throw away the resumes of someone who went straight to grad school, you're just missing out on a lot of good candidates.

Getting out and working is the best thing you can do in a down economy, even if it's a crappy job, or not as much money as you'd like. > And if you throw away the resumes of someone who went straight to grad school, you're just missing out on a lot of good candidates. Where did I say I throw out resumes? It's a red flag. Those can be overcome in interviews or with other mitigating factors, but pretending like this isn't an issue doesn't help anyone.
