One of the keys to that review is this...

They prefer to hire entry-level people

I'm pretty sure I saw similar general statements in several reviews.

Hiring someone fresh out of college is actually a challenge. I've had to do it many times in my career.

The last thing I would tell a fresh graduate before I hired them went something like this...

You can take half of what you learned and throw it out the window because it's out of date or not applicable in real life. And if you can take the other half and apply it properly then you have the job. If you don't think you can do that, tell me now so we don't waste each other's time.

And that's where a good portion of the problem is with vB5. Fresh graduates have grand ideas that just don't work in real life. And there's nobody guiding them back to reality.
