You definitely don't need one of those degrees. I would tag your account properly to try to get some relevant endorsements, as well as write a few words about your pm focus in your about area and name yourself a PM. I wonder if there are any skills tests you can do on linkedin that are relevant at all - maybe a project management type one?
Emphasize your relevant experience. You can do that through tagging your account, reworking your resume, and highlighting non-obvious ways your degree or prev exp helped prepare you for PM work.
Make sure that you take advantage of the space to list meaningful contributions and wins in those positions and you can keep the other ones lighter if you want. Also shift the way you describe your other positions to highlight the things that are most like PM-related skills/responsiblities and remove things that are really not relevant to anything you'd be applying to. Sometimes it even helps to nix a role, unless you had an exec/important title there or big wins.
Make sure you have recommendations from the right people and definitely push your most relevant experience to the top, even if it means hiding some things. Experience and reputation are often more important than a degree.
