I can only speak for myself of course, but I have no formal qualifications and it hasn't stopped me from launching two successful start-ups or working in the industry at CTO and Technical Director level. That said, I have now made the decision to return to further education (I'm taking a different direction). Point of case: I'm currently working as the technical lead for a biomedical institute, managing a team of seven bioinformaticians, all of whom which have PhDs.
