Tertiary education is important not because you are educating yourself but because if you want to get a good job you need it because people hire you if you have a solid education.
In my case, I am doing Engineering so I need Tertiary education. If I were to just stick to being a pilot, I need not anymore education, however, if you want a job in the airline industry you need Tertiary education.
To fly a plane you need common sense but to get a good job you need education as well.

K10 says here what I would. Get the education level you need to get a job and advance, but no more. Some careers you'll never land a job without the papers no matter how charming and clever you are in person. Other careers make additional years of graduate school or similar training redundant if not irrelevant.
Problem is baggio how are you going to convince a potential employer of your personality, work ethic etc.?Through an interview?IMO at first glance a degree does come across as more of a guarantee than any promises or first impressions the interviewer might have.
Streetsmart for me, but for the most part its Booksmarts for climbing the corporate ladder, unfortunately.
