Ah, you think it seems unbelievable? I thought so too the first
time. OOP and OOD is not on the job ads any more as earlier. They
are now filled with things like JSP, JSF, EJBs, JNDI, JTA, JMS,
SOAP, REST, ICEFaces, Spring, Ajax, OSGi, Spring, Axis, CXF,
Oracle, Sybase, DB/2, Oracle, MS-SQL, MySQL, Hibernate, Quartz,
JMeter, XSD, XSLT, JavaScript, etc.

So people after graduating are busy like hell learning some of
those things to get a job. That leaves absolutely no time to
learn OOP/OOD. So once they managed to get a job, they have to
find ways to get the work done to keep it.

Recruiters don't understand that OOP/OOD is a base technology and
many companies don't, either. A lot of Java work is getting some
coding work done. If you got that web service implemented in less
than 5 hours, then you are good. Otherwise you are bad. Nobody
will look at the code whether it reflects some design or
something. Sad, but often true out there.
