That is very true. I would rather consult with a professional (in any field) who had no degree but 20 year experience than someone fresh out of school.
I think a lot of professions (like medicine and law) set up ridiculous education requirements in order to limit the number of people in the field so wages can stay inflated. I read a book years ago called 'the screwing of the average man' that had a very interesting take on licensing bodies like the AMA.
