No. You can play an instrument. Whoa. Good luck getting a job and paying off that masters degree.

pride...yes arrogant...no TBH, I think taking pride in any doctoral degree (considering the work/effort put in) would be normal

I didn't know there was that high of a degree for music. Anyway, it doesn't matter what you have unless you put it to good use.

It is a license to be homeless--but able to play the flute on the corner for food.

If you are passionate about music I would say it is something you should be proud about.

Yes because the only thing you learn when pursuing a doctorate in music is how to play an instrument... On average people with a doctorate in music earn just as much as someone with any other doctorate

I am currently pursuing a masters degree in music history, and thinking of possibly going further for a PhD, my ability to play the double bass will have no impact on said degree

If I had a doctorate in music I would certainly be proud of it.

Why they may not have high earning potential from my experience people who study the arts tend to be really well cultured, intelligent , interesting people.
