That stroke you've brushed is too wide. Smart employers will have some of the money they're paying an employee going towards learning... and if they're really smart, they can even measure their ROI. Leads to less turnover, and better long-term vision for their projects.
I get your point, but give someone passionate enough 6 months in a new work environment, and with a decent mentor, and you might find they become surprisingly adept at it. The hard part is hiring for the capability to learn (fast).
