Graduation issue!

Why does not this world form a govt body in every country to recognize an individual's effort by way of awarding them a degree/doctorate that strengthens one's life' values and boost up one's career?

My quest roots from this thread - http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/advice/t-29364.html. I would appreciate unanimous thoughts on the concluding lines of that link. I am for it. What about you? How can we have the govt do this for all?

justcurious55 agrees: i know. let's elect this guy president or king of the world. then i can just drop out now. i think i've got enough life experience for a bachelor's degree. maybe he'll give me a master's if i have kids later.
I HAD 4 kids...2 with an epidural and 2 naturally, I should have just been handed over my Masters Degree in Labor & Delivery rather than having to spend all that money and time in school.

BUT, I'd be scared to have someone with "life experience" give me a shot based on milligrams, mililiters and body weight.

haha. yeah, there's a lot of things i'd be scared to have someone who wasn't professionally trained do for me. i don't even like my dentist doing my fillings. can you just imagine if she'd been given a degree based on just experience?! yikes!

Ok, so you are saying that every person in this world should get some sort of document that expresses their worth? Should we be awarding gold stars too? Are you really that naive?

Would I want my tax dollars to go towards giving every individual in my country what amounts to a pat on the back? NO WAY! Your idea is simplistic and, frankly, ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned people ARE recognized for their success in life by their job standing, salary and reputation. For example, I am a recognized expert in Microsoft Access. I've EARNED this recognition by answering thousands of questions about Access posed by people on message boards like this one. Would I want or expect the government to issue me some sort of certificate acknowledging my status. Not at all. For any such certificate to be meaningful it would have to be backed by research into the qualifications of an individual. And that means money which equates to tax dollars.

Actually in this question I think you may get a unanimous answer and that answer would be a no. I can't imagine anyone supporting this idea.
