it's my opinion that sociology and psychology should both be
concentrations of a "social science" skill along the concentrations
currently under sociology. the concentrations listed under psych
should instead be specializations.
mathematics is notably absent altogether, as are philosophy, religious
studies, and divinity; i consider these skills highly relevant. maybe
religious studies is a branch of magical theory and divinity branches
of the magical skills (a preacher or pastor generally has a doctor of
divinity; this is what qualifies him to perform church ritual).
the biotech, computer, and electronic skill concentrations seems
jumbled and arbitrary (perhaps this is because i'm a computer
programmer with electronics experience, and my mother is a physician).
medical doctor is a technical degree; the "philosophical" degree
(which would be a knowledge skill) is a Ph.D. in medicine, which is
relatively rare. i would classify the skills of a practical (as
opposed to research) physician as biotech, not as biology.
but, as i've said, i don't have the time to completely redo the skill
category system and test it to make sure it works right, and by and
large it isn't worth it. just griping. :)

When Elvis Presley died in 1977, there were 37 Elvis impersonators in the
world. Today there are 48,000. If the current trend continues, by the year
2010, one of every three people in the world will be an Elvis impersonator.
