Hugh,
We have more than 30 IA's (we call them UXA's) in our group and close
to 75% have graduate degrees in Interaction design, HCI or an MBA. It
is not a critical criteria in our hiring process, but it's sure become
the norm amongst those able to show ability, experience and knowledge.
Does that help?

It seems like such a specialized field that most employers wouldn't
really
care.
