It hasn't been proven that employers put so much value on a degree. Certainly a lot of people think that employers think that, but I've yet to see a real life hiring manager come out and say "I don't care how much experience you have, without a degree I won't consider you."

In B2B deals, government contracts and the like, sometimes companies like to brag about how many PhDs and Masters they employ.

If you are selling a product to a government or a big enterprise, it helps to have a lot of people with impressive credentials in your staff.
