That doesn't imply that all those people needed a PhD for their job, though. I worked with multiple people at Amazon who had PhDs who were doing the exact same job I was.

Some people do their PhD while they're working. You might want to change career paths, e.g. specialize in some machine learning subfield.

I'm pretty sure Doctors specialize further, whilst working, as well?
