Theater! Why that is a degree option at a university, I have no idea.

Aristophanes? Shakespeare? A lot of actors learn their craft ithrough studying theater.

Did Aristophanes and Shakespeare need to spend $15,000 to $75,000 per year for 4 to 8 years to learn their craft?

No, but it's worthwhile for other people to spend time and effort studying them.
