When you hire someone for a repair service (health, car, computer), besides word of mouth how are you suppose to qualify them , espiecally before they build up a good word of mouth reputation?
Computer repairing isn't a skill for which there's formal schooling.
Car repairing isn't either anything that has to do with university education.

With formal education comes formal testing, and a formal grade that shows us (society) how good the applicant is, rather than rely on how good the applicant says they are.
Do you know the grade that your doctor good at universtiy? From how many other local doctors do you know the grade to compare them?

From the Universtiy of Chicago:
"As far as performance in college is concerned, there is not, as I said, any national evidence that level of performance in college has more than a minor effect on later things like income. And in my alumni data, there is absolutely no correlation whatever between GPA at the University of Chicago and current income. "
