Roger that.

So is someone who gradgimicates from Full Sail or Berklee with a
recording arts degree considered an operator or tech? Or just an intern?

I've always wanted to spend the time and money for a degree so I can
pour someone's coffee... ;^)

FWIW The UK govenment claim that having a 'degree' boosts lifetime earnings
for UK residents by the order of a couple of hundred thousand pounds [1]
relative to other with the same school results but no degree. However a BBC
Radio 4 program ('More or Less') that looks at the use of statistics
investigated this.

It found what you might expect. That when you take depeciation/inflation
into account and analyse by subject then...

Computer science and physical science/eng/maths grads tend to do rather
better than the generalised average.

...but on average 'art' grads earn over a lifetime *less* if they went to
Uni for a degree.

Moral there somewhere, I guess. :-)


Well, perhaps one moral might be to look at the remit and design of the
research :-)

Earnings can also be related to gender, ethnicity, class and age for
example. Simply correlating degree type and earnings doesn't tell you a
great deal about anything.

Depends what you want to hear, I suppose.
