How do graduates get away with fake experience?

You sound like one of those people who wins the lottery or gets lucky early life and then loses it all later on and has their life destroyed because you didn't have a good system around you to navigate. I grew up where people buy lottery tickets and success was having money, but no one actually had any money. Being at Facebook, I saw a lot of wealthy people and how they lived and what their advice was and I saw the other side of things. I ask myself a lot, what if people growing up were just given $1M cash instantly, what would they actually do? Like pay off debts and then what? A lot of people don't actually know. All these people telling me that my value when I grow up is how much money I make, but none of them actually knew what that meant. You don't have to listen to my advice, but if you find yourself with some money, make sure you have role models around you who manage it well to learn from.
