I think it depends on the job. I agree about where he gets the 10,000=20
hrs  =3D 5 years. I don't believe I have read his work, but I surmise it's=
=20
possible to be in a job where the "Monkey work" doesn't count. Maybe a=20
badly designed job...

It's also possible to have an employee who after 5 years is no more=20
expert than the fresh Graduate. They are probably better finding=20
something else for their own sake.
