No i don't think so. First of all you have to decide which type of scientist you want to be in future. This will determine whether you need to complete Phd or not. There are certain Scientist who can start just after completing their Bsc or M.Sc you don't have to acquire the degree of Phd.

For e.g.
1. You can start the work of Forensic scientist just after completing your Bsc.
2. For the job of biological scientist you need to have minimum Bsc degree for entry level however for most of the post you need to have Phd Degree.
3. To become Scientist in ISRO you need to have atlest Bsc or Btech Degree the pass the entrance exam conducted by ISRO.

However it is beneficial that you complete your Phd then go for Scientist and do research work. Because doing Phd will make you specialised person with better knowledge and skills which will further help you in future in conducting your research work in effective and efficient manner.
