...I suppose you could also call the time in the academic world my dues-paying period, though really a lot of it was of zero relevance to my professional career (except for some of the mathematics).
That said, it does impress people when you come in with a doctoral degree even if that degree is completely irrelevant. The other side of the coin is that some employers might worry that you're overqualified for joe jobs, but I didn't really encounter a lot of that.
