I used to think the same thing, generally, about reed guys. (Then my kid took a shine to the alto sax!)
Unfortunately, I have not been able to convert him to the "true faith" of low brass, but I do have hopes.
He'll be in high school next year, and I have explained to him, as have others who are more conversant than I am with the current state of college opportunities, that there is a brighter scholarship future for good tuba players than there is for alto sax guys, simply because there are a lot fewer good tuba players around.
