I had 7 PhD engineers that worked for me.  The litmus test to me is if they can explain the very complex to someone that isn't an engineer and have them understand it.  When someone feels the need to brag about the PhD, I always think it's because they are surprised that they got it at all and are impressed by it; and want you to be impressed too.  Not in all cases, but sometimes I have noted that the most educated people aren't always in possession of common sense and that can lead to some dumb mistakes in their finances and in their personal lives.  

I used to have to review their Financial Discloure forms and was sometimes surprised by the level of debt they were carrying.
