Is it what you learn or is your degree status which makes you valuable ?

Both.

If you learn a lot but don't finish your degree it's hard to get employment since you seem riskier for HR.

And some positions are almost impossible to get. This gets worse the more regulated and formalized your employment is.

Depends also on how you define "valuable".
As a medical dropout, you could be worthless for a hospital but worth a million bucks to some people in the jungle.

Valuable in case of do you need college to earn 100k+ annually

At the end what you learn is what should ultimately bring value to the corporation/institution you work for...

but your degree status is used as a filter/qualifier to seriously get your foot in the door.

Here is my anecdote. I never got a degree and it's always been a problem.
Whenever I apply to jobs many times I get filtered out for not being qualified. Iif I dont get immediately filtered out usually during the interview with the hr drones who dont even know the job they just have their checklist of buzzwords and things go well right up until they ask about my degree and then when I tell them I dont have one the interview abruptly changes tone to where they are just rushing through the routine motions to get it over with. It's almost as if they overlooked or didnt notice I dont have a degree listed on my resume?
Everytime I bypass the drones by being introduced or recommended by friends or family I'll get an interview with someone who actually knows the job, not just some clueless HR drone, but they tell me that while they are very impressed by me they but are not able to hire me without a degree but they would be happy to hire me as soon as I get a degree.
