For me, if I'm looking for someone to fill a certain position, I will look for competency, work ethic & attitude, with education level coming after that.

If someone needs more training & education to do a job, but has the work ethic and attitude required, to me that is a winner. You can't teach work ethic, but you can absolutely teach skills.
