How would havin 10 years experince in a different field stack up to a degree, on a rating of 1-10? Spent 10 with the same company (Chrysler Corp.) and achieved many certifications through them. I know it's not a degree, but it's gotta be woth something, right?

It might help at a regional if they are growing and expect fast upgrades...you are old enough to upgrade and are more mature than the average 20 yo.
