I have an advanced degree... not a PhD.
My first "professional" job after the army I was the *only* guy there that didn't have one.
A PhD means you sucked up to a lot of politics and hung out on campus longer for the most part. There are exceptions to that comment but generally it is not that impressive.
In Chemistry the information given is often thin, so no matter who you are working with, be it joe the mad bomber in his garage, or Dr. High muckity muck of the biggest chem assembly plant in the world. If your information is scant you need to be ready willing and able to verbally fill in the gap.
It isn't like we are talking about playing domino's Chemistry is inherently dangerous, and giving out shoddy information is completely unacceptable be it a cleaner or a stabiliser catalyst for a long chain effect.
