Does Sturgis have a degree from anywhere? I've been digging around and haven't been able to find information on his academic career. Just curious.

"those who can, teach; those who can't - the bitter, the misguided, the failures from other fields - find in the school system an excuse or a refuge."

I think the OP meant just in general. Not necessarily in the audio engineering field
I feel like he would have mentioned it in that article. But I'm sure the man will answer for himself soon enough.
About education: If I was giving advice ... steer toward Electrical Engineering, that's a "EE". 4 or 5 years. It will give you all the educational tools necessary to then pursue recording if that is your passion. I designed and built guitar efx processor as my thesis project. But at the same time you can fall back on $60K starting $100K per year typical. Industrial process control for example is really related to recording audio. Lots of analog and digital streams coming into massive computer systems. We handle anywhere from 100- 3000 tracks but in real time, process them then drive outputs to make shit 24/7.
But it's boring stuff like paper, plastics, cracking up oil, producing steel, baking cookies etc.
Passion for art drives the recording, money is there to sustain it. Nice to see that spirit. On the flip side MONEY drives the industrial. Gobs of money.
