Any smart company will start their new-hires at the bottom, and let them work their way up. Especially college grads. There is no way to quantify their contribution to a company with their degree. Pedigree in education means nothing - doing the job well, and learning fast means everything to an employer. OTJT as an intern might give an indication of their potential contribution as well. If a college grad has no OTJT, that's not my problem as an employer, when I can find people with it.
