Massive shame. Problem in our current culture is that art is such a commodity that it's only respected as a commodity, and those who make money with it may, or may not, have went to school. Most highly educated musicians either cut down their full usage of their potential to make it, or fade into obscurity.

A music degree will not get you money unless you want to teach music, and it seems rather illogical from an economic perspective to teach a subject where only teachers make money.

Not saying it's right, but it's why it's happening, assuming it is.

Al Pacino = God
