Another reason why IT degrees are becoming less and less relevant

More and more employers are becoming more savvy about who they hire. Just having a degree in the industry doesn't (and shouldn't) count for as much as it used to.

Know experience/portfolio of past work (especially in webdevelopment) and a clear understanding of best practices and knowledge in interviews is more important in weeding out the good on paper and from the good in practice.

I just wonder how much of it goes on in the real world where developers could just as easily take on jobs their are not competent/skilled enough to do and wing it by outsourcing more difficult assignments.
