I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I'll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene.
