I think this is how I imagine hiring to be but it is not scalable. You get hired for doing things you love and have passion for. The fire in the belly comes from passion and love for the craft. Lot of engineers I have interviewed, if feels to me they are trying to hack the interview process. In larger orgs, "cracking" the interview process might lead to long term job. But in a mid tier or start up, that's the beginning.

I love I.T. but I don't have any work, but I do have already experience, but racism makes it worse in my environment.

Yes, I totally agree with you, this method is good for small/medium sized company but here in Italy the majority of companies are small/medium, so I think that hiring based on the “real knowledge” should become a prevalent strategy to growth up. Instead we -unfortunately- have more recruitments based on the “I’m a friend of a friend” or “this piece of paper says that I’m able to do to xyz, no need to prove it”.

Professionalism is doing the thing even when you don't feel like doing the thing Because as much as you might love the job, there's always those days and those boring tasks

  Degrees most certainly prove that one is able to do a significant amount of boring tasks. They also prove a being beyond minimum intelligence and skill level. Safe choice but often not the best.
