i think AE school actually reduces your odds of doing anything audio related, because it shoves immeasurable amounts of useless information (sinewave math problems, the physics of a speaker moving in and out, etc.) that kids can't find interesting at first. WE could probably pay attention to shit like that for short amounts of time because we already know the fun stuff, but 19 year old dipshits that know nothing except it'd be cool to record shit...no.
ALSO, since these schools generally have SSL consoles and genelecs, they tend to fill kids heads with the false misconception that you can't accomplish anything without PT HD and 6 figures of analogue gear. i know TONS of kids (literally five off the top of my head) that went to the AE program at newengland institute of art and they're all...terrible and doing nothing now. except this one dude who gets intermittent contracting jobs for live sound, but seems to have no interest in recording bands.
mowell...AE school is total fail.
