PhD: to do or not to do?

Following yesterday's post about post-docs, today I talk about PhDs. Most people finish their Master and want to land their first job, other think there is more than finding a job and feel that they have to learn more. These ones end up doing a PhD. If you should do or not, depends on the professional career you want to have. I have not regret at any moment to do a PhD, but maybe that is just me:

Do you think a PhD is a must or a over-qualification for your career?
