Okay, using "Ivy & Chrome" as a reference, I would best guess
that a PhD is *at least* a rating of 8 in a skill. For example:
Dr Archill, a 'Doctor of Essence Medicine" has a Magic Theory
of 8.

This is not to say that a profession can always be summed up
in one skill, but that is one of his highest and I do not
want to spoil the run should there be some out there who
have not run across Ivy & Chrome yet.

So there is a starting point; hope it helps.
