Graduate degrees can be very valuable.  Sometimes they're worthless.  It
all depends on the position.  A research lab or university may require a
PhD for certain positions, perhaps under the assumption that the
education you received will add to your performance.  Hacker houses may
not care if you have any degree.

It's up to you to choose a job that matches your career goals.  You may
also want to consider a degree that matches.
