In my experience this line in the description is likely a formality
tacked on by an HR person, so why would you choose to exclude
yourself?  I do not have a degree in anything related to systems
administration, and submit to jobs that indicate a "related" degree is
required and still get interviewed/job offers.

Heck, at one of the most degree-biased companies I've seen, I was able
to convince them to hire two folks that didn't have any degrees *at
all* as SA's.
