Yeah, I guess. No big deal. I was in this band, and in this music education program 1975-1978, and thought the whole thing was okay. Then I asked the head of music, "What if I want to teach here? How can I do that?" His answer was, "Well, we want a better class of teacher here than any of our students are." Fine, buddy, why didn't you offer me a chance to ask that question before I had used most of my Veterans' Administration education benefits to pay for what turned out to be just about nothing? I should have spend another lot of years doing something else, I suppose. Tough, that's my take. Here's the thing, people: If you're going to get some education, get some education that people think is worthwhile. Otherwise, learn a trade skill.
