Does it pay to have a graduate degree?

Recently I have seen several articles discussing the value of certain careers, as in which ones pay the best over the long haul or which ones give the best return on your student loan.  I understand the concept, but let's face it: everyone doesn't want to be a microbiologist, a pharmacist, or a civil engineer (all of which, it seems, have that good return on your loans). 

I did, however, think it was worth noting that graduate degrees are more beneficial for certain careers than others. We've probably all heard stories about unemployed PhD's, so maybe their degree wasn't really necessary. It's something to consider.
