It wasn't like medieval days where it didn't take much for a dragon to be considered wise. Just collect some dusty old books to impress visitors, grow a long white beard, and talk in a booming ponderous voice. Nowadays they expect us to go get degrees, get harangued by overbearing professors, spend our nights doing research papers. And don't even get me started on student loan debt... not conducive to a hoard of shinies, that's all I'll say. smh.
