Sometimes the two go together, sometimes they do not.
I've met more than my share of university grads whom I wouldn't hire to mow my lawn. I know more than a few high school-only grads who could build an entire house with only the most rudimentary of plans. I have of course, seen the opposite as well - but that is just my point. The two are not necessarily linked.
The market will determine who gets $35/hour based on who it needs, not a coronation in purple robes and mortarboard hats.

And of course, some companies hire people based on who they know or family connections, regardless of ability. My university degree was of no help to me until I started looking for jobs abroad.
