A Ph.D. is pretty much a license to do science in many fields, such as biochemistry. Unlike CS, you just don't get to do the cutting edge work without one -- you will remain forever a lab tech unless and until you get your doctorate.

maybe that is a good enough reason to avoid those fields and focus on fields that actually value your ideas and implementations rather than a credential.
