Free enterprise and good fiscal management is what makes this society function. Otherwise, society degrates and discourages acts of genuine character, mostly cuz it's dangerous for society's growth and expansion. What would happen if everyone started thinking of what really matters more than the profit motive.
But that's not what you've asked (assuming you created this poll). Your comment creates a false dichotomy between genuine-people-motive vs. greedy-profit-motive, whereas the original question simply involved integrity vs. certification. So the hypothetical situation isn't what would happen if we started "thinking of what really matters more than the profit motive", it's what would happen if everyone eschewed education for honesty.
I'm saying that it's silly to choose between a society of amoral intellectuals and a society of well-meaning idiots, even hypothetically. Both would fail.
Honest and potential, or studied and certified?

Best results in what, exactly? Both qualities are necessary for a functional society.
