PhD's are mostly devoid of value and often harmful to people's judgement in and of themselves. The certification means nothing, implicitly. If someone's PhD work is not contributive to society (I mean, let's look at quality of life in society here rather than number of papers produced) then the PhD is not a virtue of that person. On the contrary, it becomes an object of deception. Anyone that doesn't realize this fact is cowed by an entity or knowledge-base that you probably don't want to end up slave to. If they are requiring you to have a PhD despite your ability then you may like to look into finding people like yourself and working outside of the existing employment system you reference.
