Which do you think has brought forth more valued pieces of music?
The musician that comes out of berklee college/Juliard?
Or the musician that works the day job and just loves to do it even though he may not be as technically savvy as the formally educated musician?

This is not Genre Specific and I'm just wondering what everyone's thoughts on this were. Give the Pros and Cons of each or certain acts that walk the tight rope between the two.

Thank you
