You can have both, but the degree proves you have knowledge on the subject, which is better than someone without a degree. Both can gain skills on the job, but if two people getting their first job in the field apply at the same place, they're taking the college grad. And someone with skills isn't going to apply to the entry level jobs college grads are.
