If you're talking about hiring the same individual when they've finished year 12, as opposed to when they've finished Uni, you're right. How often does that happen? To provide a wonderful counterexample to your statement, we've hired a 16 year old child prodigy at work for cutting code. He's very, very good at what we've got him doing. Worth what we pay him and more. He's certainly worth more than the average CompSci graduate. > You'd be surprise to know that large IT companies go around Universities > each year trying > to woo new graduates.
