It's a Darwinian thing, the SAE (and most other Music Technology courses) continues to provide a very useful vehicle for the downward mobility of the children of the middle classes.

Sons of doctors, lawyers and other professional classes, unable to get a proper education, go to one of these 'schools' where they get to pay a great deal of money to play with software and write pointless essays on "My Ideal Studio."

They then go on to become bag-boys, bell-hops, shelf-stackers and cart-pushers, leaving space that the middle classes would otherwise have bought up in real schools for those with a proper engineering degree to get a career.
