151. Here's the real background
The real background is that I am in a position to hire employees and CANNOT hire any recent graduate other than the most exceptional individuals because they do not possess the basic literacy and mathematical skills for even junior/learning positions.

Nobody here arguing with me is in a position to hire anyone; of this I am certain, because if they were they would have the same complaints about the awful quality of candidates that I have. I have to reject over 50% of applicants on grammar alone, as a person who cannot write proper sentences cannot be put into a position to communicate with customers. And that's just grammar, before I get to anything which I would consider an actual job qualification.
