Absolutely nothing. OJT is essential in all jobs, from engineering to law to medicine and all successful companies do it. That said, I don't really want a doctor to operate on me that didn't go to med school, just like I don't want somebody designing bridges and skyscrapers who doesn't have a PE in structural engineering. YMMV.
Also, a college degree is a ticket-punch necessary to get many jobs. An employer wants to see if you have the academic prowess and discipline before he invests in you.
