As a hiring manager, it happens very, very rarely that I encounter someone worth training. When we're talking "crap" candidates, we're talking a complete lack of both talent and passion. It would be a waste of time and effort to try to train these people. Education is part of the problem. I don't expect higher education to result in immediately applicable job skills, but I do expect it to weed out the fundamentally incompetent.
