I agree. The hard science degrees and professional degrees are the only ones with a decent payoff. The rest are all the same. I was a hiring manager, so I know firsthand.

Funny that you mention music education, because my "day" job now is teaching music at a private studio. Again, no formal education on my part.

My brother is a percussion instructor for a marching band (and he does quite well for a 25 year-old), and my wife is a homemaker/ private french horn teacher who dabbles in marching band drill writing and music arrangement.
