The degree "and" work experience are what get you the bucks.
That's what I did. While I worked on my Computer Science degree, I got hired to work as an assistant in the computer lab, and night shift computer operator (back in the days when they needed people to actually mount tapes on drives, swap disk platters and run processes).

Got to stay on campus, so I could work shifts in between clasees and even get assignments done...especially while I worked the night shift and had the whole mainframe processor practically all to myself!!!

Didn't get paid a lot, but I could fill up my car's tank and had weekend pocket money!

And it did look good on my resume when asked about prior computer experience.
