Education and Learning Without a Degree

	          		The education system has converted knowledge to a set of degrees which are put in hierarchy. Quite often it is so strong that we tend to assume that degree is knowledge. But a degree at best can be a way to screen potential contributors. Is there a better substitute of knowing how much knowledge or wisdom one has without using degrees?
