What your PhD proves is that you have an ability to learn, understand and communicate, and THAT is what employers are looking for.

Yes! It also shows the ability of straight hard work. It's easy to come out of college with a degree or two and not learn this. I've only got a BA in math so i have no idea what it takes, but i would imagine earning a PhD is on a different level of work ethic.
