That explanation makes sense (except partially for the sibling comment's point) but there is still something strange there.

In market terms, this is clients saying entry-level workers with lots of education provide zero value, or the risk outweighs the benefits. If that's true, it means that people need training until 30-somethings before they are valuable to society. Or our education system is broken.

Or it's not true and it's market manipulation. Given the choice between "no service" and "pay a fair entry-level price", many people will pay something.
