    Why not base your decision on the candidate's academic qualifications?

    College and university exams are far more rigorous and comprehensive than any interview tests can ever be.

    Eeek! Depends on where they went to school. I know of one university that values income more than education, and refuses to fail ANYBODY no matter what. I doubt they are unique.

    Then you have the professors that teach opinion and not fact, and grade based on that. How valuable is if that someone learned an opinion?

    A college degree says that an individual is able to learn, nothing more. It does NOT mean they know anything in particular, nor does it make them an expert. Everyone I know that has taken networking course work in college is of the opinion that it was nothing more than theory and basically useless in the real world. I know my database classes were at least as bad. I would go farther and say that about half the database courses I have taken at professional training schools have been just as useless.
