there will still always be jobs where you aren't required to know anything right off the bat because getting trained is fast and easy, they just need the right person. my job as janitor at shopping mall didn't require me to know anything, it was my first job and I was fresh out of high school but no one cared. but where I work now, is a much bigger deal and they would not hire just anyone.
still, I would never label getting a job as 'easy' whether you have a degree or not you are competing with others who usually have the same credentials as you.
