[DIYbio] How important PhD will be?

Hey guys, I would like to know a few opinions on this. How important do you guys think a Ms or PhD degree will be in the next 10+ years in life sciences? Because many of the people I know working on their Ms or PhD in molecular biology, is that they learn a few techniques in 1 year or so and then they just look like machines, just repeating a few protocols over and over again. And they also get too concentrated on a specific subject...

I also read on Wired about a guy that left his PhD to run his DIY bio lab. Do you guys think it's crazy?

Except for the practical part, today with the internet and easy access to books we can study whatever we want, when we want, we don't need to be trapped on a specific course anymore.
