I actually got hired despite moderate skills and worked my ass off like none other to catch up. Now I'm doing well and have solid skills, but the first 3-4 years were really rough.
I agree, there aren't many good school programs. I've found so many programs teach the tools and not the craft. They teach the flashy and not the basics. I've actually thought a lot about getting involved with some schools around here (WA State), but just haven't had the time.
I have a hard as hell finding good people to hire. I could care less about experinece. I look for work, skills, and potential... but I do believe I'm rare from what I've seen. Not to mention potential usually means squat in an agency because they don't care to grow people...
