I think it's basically The Way Things Are Done in academia, and academia has a lot of inertia unfortunately.
For what it's worth, we've been trying to change that at
@UWeScience
: we've hired folks to our data scientist positions with industry experience in lieu of a PhD.

It's an extremely good point
@aadrake
, thanks. We'll look into whether we should & can change the requirements for some of these positions. As
@jakevdp
