I think it's more about keeping yourself curious and reading stuff form reliable sources than actually getting a degree, which makes little sense. (I'm a physicist, and I'm totally ignorant about physiology, for instance, so I have to trust "people who know", and these aren't usually found on crappy YT or TikTok videos).
