re hire credentials rather than skills

I strongly dislike "credentials" and "licensing"...what right has the govt to tell me whether I can work at something or not, or who I can and cannot hire or who I can or cannot serve: if customers like my work that should be enough.

A friend of mine was one of the most wonderful physical therapists at the hospital where she interned...they loved her work and praised her highly, as did the patients.Alas she could not pass the "credentials test" as she is not so great on tests, and so she cannot be a physical therapist, except on a very casual, informal basis.
There are plenty of stories like that...and the reverse where someone is terrible at what he/she does but passed the credential test. A counselor I knew when I lived in Australia said he was a better counselor on gut instinct before he took the courses required, which promptly killed a lot of his excellent instincts.
