I specialize all of my characters. So, for the most part they never get very far above 50. However, my Assassins always get into the 60s. That's because the use so many different skills.
1H, Illusion, Sneak, Alchemy and Archery for the main, while supplemented by Alteration, Enchanting, Smithing, Lt Armor and Pickpocket.
Then you have the ones you can't control..Speechcraft and Lockpick.
