Have a business partner who thinks exactly the same. He announced a linux sys admin job a few weeks back, and got 100 replies.
 1/3 he threw away because those were indians without swedish knowledge. 1/3 were people about to retire who just want to wait until they are 65, and he wants someone long term, and not someone who disappear after 1 or 2 years, and 1/3 were from vocational schools, that he by default throws away. The search continues!

In my day the vocational schools produced very high quality people who took practical approaches to problem solving.
One guy couldn't really code, so he searched the internet and asked questions and arrived at working solutions that way. Respect.
Another set were bright people with any degree in STEM except computer science.
And a final set were wannabe computer geeks who read all the manuals and explored every single drop down menu entry and ended up rebuilding windows every week.
Very useful at rebuilding customers wrecked windows installs...

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984.”
