My 2 cents here ...
Many years ago, I learnt from the HR manager (multi-national company) that there were 3 candidates with PhD in the group applying for the jobs. I got the job and I asked the HR manager why the PhD candidates were un-successful. Reply was, they did not want thinkers in the office but doers out there getting things done. So ....

Cheerio.
