Why is a college graduate more likely to get a job in management than is someone with only a high school diploma, even when the job has nothing to do with a specific type of education?

Increasingly, a college education is used as a screening device to keep the number of job applicants manageable. A college education signals to an employer that the applicant has worked at least four years and achieved something (an education as well as the certificate, hopefully). Empirical evidence also suggests that college graduates are more productive.
