It very much depends on the position. However, in most cases both are extremely important. Personally, experience for me tends to play a bigger role.

Degree will get you the interview, it's just a door opener. To get the job, you have to have the talent,abilities, and interpersonal skills.

Skills are acquired not just through degrees, but through other avenues, like reading books and periodicals. But actual job experience remains the most important source of skills and qualifications
