This seems like an extremely weird interpretation of what the article is saying.

You’re implying that the only knowledge this person has, period, is those three courses, and that’s absurd. While working, they would have ostensibly already picked up enough knowledge and skills to be able to readily compete with those dozens of new graduates who have might not yet had relevant work experience.

Just because someone didn’t get much out of their college education does not mean they don’t have “diverse skills and an open mind”.
