I think you're amplifying the weight of the degree in the hiring process and I'm not sure it's such a hard requirement given the increasing demand for data scientists and ML engineers. I can definitely empathize with your lack of confidence given that I'm a drop-out myself [Undergrad - quite far from PhD :D]

I don't want to become some wage slave weighed down by a barely payable mortgage. I want to work on stuff that truly matters, but funnily enough ... the world is in disagreement on that one as far as I can see (ads, "social" networks, forcing influence one way or the other ...)
