Granted, degrees are necessary especially in positions of strong or great responsabiity making the need for character even greater. A Doctor without a conscience, a politician without honesty, an engineer with nothing more than the profit motive is more likely to build fast to gain fast, than to build well to last. The decisions made by those in power because of their degrees or whatnot have the biggest effects on our lives. Bernie Madoff, Stanford, Galleon ring a bell? The list goes on and on.
Honest and potential, or studied and certified?
