Right. The SAE soup is a very expensive soup, which looks very tasty before you try it, has a strange taste while you eat it and won´t feed most of its eaters.
"So give a man a fish and he´ll eat for a day...teach him how to fish and he´ll eat forever..." may have been their original philosophy...
But if there are only 1000 fishes and 1.000.000 fishermen not even this will help and he´ll stay hungry
There´s a nice, long forgotten virtue in our and other business areas.
It´s called
RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS instead of selling coloured singing birds to the blind, deaf & naive ones.

Believe it or not: Knowing what I know today mostly came from internships in other studios (for free - except paid with ehm toilet cleaning and listening whole days to wannabe producer´s life wisdom...), listening to engineer friends (for free), forums like this (for free) and trying days & nights by myself (for free too). heh
What I learnt at SAE mainly was to talk about engineering like I would have been born as Bruce Swedien
The fact that I don´t have to live from what I earn with my studio makes it redundant to me personally if I spent 7 k for NOTHING at SAE 10 years ago.
It´s NOT redundant for those who have to work hard for their course money / borrow it from their not rich parents / take a credit from a bank in the hope to get a job one day & pay the money back.
And those get
A BIG WARNING SIGN !! from me. tutt
