I would say a degree is a must. As for type of degree if you can find a CS or IS degree with an emphasis on security I think that would have enormous potential leaving the market. I work for a large consulting company and that is one area that is only growing.
We just implemented Stellent'sXpedio Content Server for a client. This is really a hybrid product that serves the web world as a content management system and also the backend world of workflow (a little tricky to customize the standard workflow to suit our needs) and document management. Also included is a link between the two meaning you can have MS word docs transformed into JSP (any format really, this was just what we did) and publish them out based on some publishing rules.
I would give it a 3 out of 5 for its CMS capabilities, but a 4/5 for its DMS capabilities. Pretty good out of the box product. Easy enough to customize--includes a JDK for writing cutom components and has an EJB for tapping into the database. Also as a plus it comes with Verity search engine bundled which does a nice/fast full text search.
This is on the lower end of price for medium sized solutions. It was a little clunky to get redundancy/clustering up and running, but in the end we made it happen.
