That depends on the kind of job. For white collar jobs, have a degree definitely has an advantage. For some companies, it is the basic requirement. However, for blue collar work, skills get from vocational schools are more relevant.

I went to an interview recently and no one even said anything about my certificates. They just told me me straight up to start demonstrating the job of the position I applied for. Skills have been made paramount now by employers.
I remember when a particular church needed a pianist and I went to apply for the position. No one cared to ask if you are a music graduate or not. All they did was to bring one giant piano and tell all the applicants to have their time on it. Now, it is all about how skillful you are that you would be considered for a job.
Well to be honest at the moment in my country you might be having the skill and the degree but not get employed I heard of someone who is not having the skill and not having the degree for what is practically and basically needed in my country these days his connection rather than your skin or degree.
In my country, multinational companies usually also require a minimum degree/education from a university degree. However, a degree alone is not enough, he must have the required skills certificate to add a plus, so that the chances of being accepted are greater because the competition is very tight.
