This would not replace one of the major reasons employers want a college graduate. It shows them a certain level of responsibility demonstrated over an extended period.

Exactly...my employer hires many people with various non related degrees..they know if you finished the four year program you show resolve and ambition for starters.

There used to be a position called, “Office Boy”.

Perhaps this position, combined with high SAT or ACT scores might resolve this issue regarding reliability, self motivation, drive, and aptitude for the job.

Hm?...If this were so, why then are employers demanding INTERNSHIP experience?

Could it be that a college degree is NOT a reliable measure of resolve and ambition? Is this why INTERNSHIPS are now becoming almost mandatory?
