This only applies if you're moving from one job to another in the same field.

I totally agree with that, i meant more or less if you ever plan on switching jobs or industry.
Working from HS at a bank and running a branch for 2 years probably looks worse than an accounting Bcomm and 4 years experience in an energy firm.
Its harder to switch industries or jobs with no degree than it is with one.
