As the other readers have given their opinions it must be applied for everything. A PhD or a degree or any qualification is just a measurement of a person's calibre. Different job positions need people capable of sustaining different stress and knowledge levels. Its enough to prove the capability once.
Life cannot be forever passing exams!
However depending on ones profession updating of knowledge is a must.
