I guess it depends what you are hiring for... If you are hiring for someone that will just "do the work" and not care what it is, then it seems like this is sound logic. However, if you're looking for someone who is creative and passionate about their work, believes in what your business is trying to do, and the work they are trying to accomplish, and will find the best way to accomplish it -- school no longer seems so representative of this, where they know the tasks they are completing serve no purpose other than a "grade."
