Outcomes by College Major

I would guess that most of the Top 40 producers and songwriters do not have music degrees.

"Most" is a wild understatement   

I'd be surprised if ANY top 40 have a music degree

Too true! What's the point anyway? Does a music degree = a top 40 career? How many times on American Idol or The Voice do you see a contestant from such-and-such music school? Most of the ones I see end up frustrating the judges because they are "too" technical or precise. In my estimation, it's a hindrance.
