Thank God. It's is a creativity killer. Academic credentialing grew out of the need to supply bureaucracies. Credentialing in the trades was through apprenticeship, a much more practical model. This doesn't apply only to higher education, either. John Dewey got this right in his model of progressive education as education for self-actualization and living a socially contributive life in an open society rather than as education for a job.
