I belive that both are important.However actions speak louder than words or in this case aquired knowledge speaks louder than degrees. We have all met someone with degrees as far as the eye can see, he understand theories and formulas but he couldn't build a square to save his life. Now on the other hand I have met countless capenters that can build just about anything and never understood a simple 3'-4'-5' is A squard + B squared = C squared.
