I think the only loophole around it is a ridiculous amount of experience (talking 10+ years in the industry) or military service.

The days of "Oh I just walked in and asked the guy for a job, and I've been working there for 20 years now" are pretty much over. It's all about how well you can pack your resume and who you know.
Different world today than it use to be. I rose to a plant superintendent by the time I was 30 with only a high school diploma. Today you better have a college degree for any management job. Now it's education over common sense and hard work that counts. Been retired over 11 years now and still a kid that loves sports cars.
