Credentials are critical if you want to do something professional. If you want to become a doctor or lawyer or teacher or professor, there is a credentialing process. But there are a lot of other things where it's not clear they're that important.
Surveys show that many talented and committed young people are reluctant to enter teaching for the long haul because they think the profession is low-paying and not prestigious enough.
No-one works for money alone and tapping into what people want from their careers and what they have to offer is essential.
I would not encourage everyone to take up this profession. Not everyone is suited for any particular field.
The most successful businesses have an idea for the future that's very different from the present - and that's not fully valued.

If we can modernise the workforce, make them better qualified, have this framework of qualifications, then I think they have a very good case for more money.
People don't work in a dotcom because they have to. There are many professions that don't require that sort of time. But people sign up because they want to make world-changing differences, to build something that affects millions of people.
There's nothing like living a little close to the edge that gets you motivated to ensure that you get the credentials you need to succeed.
