I disagree that the only reason is for research. First of all, I know several researchers with undergraduate and masters degrees in fields such as chemical engineering who do not have doctorates and who enjoy working in the research and development field.
I am working on my PhD for two reasons. The first is that the knowledge gained is important, particularly the dissertation process in which I have the opportunity to work intensely on one topic. The second reason is that it is generally accepted in my field of work (higher education) as the standard degree. My last vice president only had a high school diploma, yet was an excellent administrator with forty years experience in administration. Unfortunately, he is a rare exception and if I want a higher position than I have right now as an administrator, I need a PhD.

There is one, and only one, reason to get a PhD -- because you want to research and you can't NOT get it.

I would say to reach the highest level of education possible in my field.
