elcamino,
Whether it would help depends on specific positions and situations. Say you got a PhD in economics from Harvard (most graduate programs in economics are PhDs). That degree would help you get offers from consulting firms and universities since consulting firms look for credentials and universities look for promising researchers. However, that degree wouldn’t help you much at a i-bank that’s looking for a fresh creative mind.
