Is working experience as valued as a degree in the same field of work?

Example: Mark has a degree in risk assessment, Adam does not have a degree but has been a risk assessment manager for5 years through working his way to that position and learning from a his senior. Do you consider adam's experience in that field to be just as valuable as Mark's degree with1 year work experience?

experience has more value than degree. Provided you have learnt through number of years the processes and ways to do that job.

Thanks for invitation, 

I do believe that scientific degrees, technical certificates and  experience are important for any job in addition to the personal talents and qualifications but the "job description' is usually specify the best qualifications needed for candidates who can be employed.
