I'm not as familiar with the CalTech/JPL scenario however I have seen people do a similar working PhD at NASA-JSC/Rice. It is a more strenuous path especially when your taking classes.

Many people have made huge impacts on the world without a Bachelors degree. Every degree is a title. However, your PhD thesis and research papers represent your research quality level.
