Skills and Experience gap
It's both.
Skills in that it's one thing to master the theory and example projects and quite another to work on business projects and the incredibly messy and undocumented environment that is the everyday norm. Learning how to not lose your temper is one of the biggest skills to learn, solving problems without documentation the other and that only comes from...
Experience with those messy and high pressure environments where not only are things not documented and never will be, but the vendor just released an update in the middle of your project that just borked everything you were doing and the Director or VP doesn't care so get on the phone to the vendor and sort it out yesterday, because the vendor doesn't have documentation on it either. And never will.
After a while, you come to remember the things that aren't documented, like making sure you log out of a virtual desktop and not switch off or this will "hang" your account.
They do not teach these things at uni.
