I've also seen, in the process of hiring many people, that someone with some experience is a LOT more valuale than someone out fo school with a degree but no experience.

The other thing is, school is always behind. Example, if a new programming language comes out, it will be many years before schools ever include it in their curriculum....so you will get someone with basic programming theory but no practical knowledge
Sure except of course somebody with a degree and experience is even better.

What you learn in University is how to learn. Finishing a degree shows an employer you can commit yourself and you're able to learn and then perform tasks as instructed.
