professional titles

I wasn't sure where to ask this and I searched several help categories, etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could add professional titles to a profile? Or, is there a place and I'm not seeing it? I personally would like my professional degree letters to appear even though it usually not done. If I find ancestors who had Phds or were MDs I would like to so indicate that.
Thank you.

If the person used the title of "Dr." (Doctor), whether medical or academic, during his or her lifetime, that should be entered in the prefix field. Information on the actual degree earned can be included in the biography.

What titles should be used? Just about everyone could have one: "Sir", "Dr", "Master", "Housewife"...
