>To pick a popular theatre-related discipline, consider what an actor does:

Not saying you're wrong about what a good theater student does, but a disproportionately large number of arts students I've met seemed to treat their degree as a three year long bludge that allows them to delay taking on adult responsibilities.

Far fewer people go into mechanical engineering or physics because they want to sit around smoking weed all day.

At least in my line of (admittedly quite "dirty") work, I'd choose someone with experience at McDonalds or Kmart over an arts grad any day of the week.
