The example is very relevant to the post to which I was responding. It obviously wasn't the best choice because apparently most on here don't know what most DMAs entail (e.g., your description in the quoted post clearly demonstrates you have little insight to what you are talking about...) or the difference between a PhD in a music field v. a DMA. Also, PhDs in higher ed music departments are regularly being supplanted by individuals with less training, or less "qualified" training simply for the sake of saving money on salary. So, I still stand behind this example given the context of the conversation. Regardless, this is kind off topic.
Edit - you should also change your status beings you aren't a med student.
