Like every other position out there in every other career 
field  under similar circumstances - with the realistically 
under qualified via unrealistically padded resumes. The new 
employees will be attempting to work far above their actual 
capabilities, and the employers will be harboring the delusion 
that they bought far more than they received. Tuition will 
increase to take up the slack, and no one will ever know the 
difference.
