If you're looking to work in the music business you would be looked down on if you can't read music, it would make you harder to work with so why wouldn't they just find someone else who can do it?
and yes the same can be said for someone with a tin ear but I'm not sure why you're treating the ability to read music and having a good ear as being mutually exclusive, every music degree would require you to be fairly adept at melodic, harmonic and rhythmic dictation, you would most certainly be expected to play by ear in a classical setting too, directors tend to be short tempered and staring dumbfounded after he hums something for you to play wouldn't end well.
