It's not just an IQ test, it's a test of ability, which is different. Your college record shows that you
a) Whether you were able to get the work done.
b) Whether you were smart enough to do the work well.
It's the combination that's important, not either single one. Employers want people who show up on time, actually care enough to try, and are smart enough to figure it out.
The college degree has a better than zero correlation to that. After you get the job it's mainly about performance and output, once you've been promoted a few times your college degree mostly doesn't matter.
