In my field, the only way is to get the credentials, the higher you study, the more folks listen to you. It's rather difficult being an expert witness in court with a GCSE or 2. You can also command big amounts of money (relatively speaking) if you've got the pieces of paper.
However, having said that, I've met many highly qualified, published Psychiatrists/Psychologists/Psychotherapists who were as dumb as dirt and shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near other people.

"Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

There's no argument that a degree isn't an indicator of intelligence or proficiency.
