Speaking as someone who has interviewed in the field of programming there are many frauds. I don't even necessarily mean deliberate frauds but there are clearly people who are employed as programmers/engineers who have no business being such.
I agree mostly, but for a different reason. I see a lot of people who have experience in years, but not in work. They were basically hired out of school, learned their job in 6 mos. and repeated the same job every 6 mos. for 5 years. Their knowledge is still 6 mos. out of school even though they have been working for 5 years.
This problem is the fault of both the employer and the employee. The employee for not taking control of their own destiny and the employer for being so risk adverse to never move forward.
