Don't many people already have degrees in Social Media already? I saw a ton of people studying on Facebook in college.

Now this will be "useful" in the real world. Good luck with that "degree".

I've pretty much learned that, if a degree has the word "social" attached, it's useless in the business world. Only reason to take it is personal interest (and there's nothing wrong with that, just don't plan on marketing the degree).

you can get a degree to be a clown and a mime also. it means about as much to an employer as a degree in nose picking.

to those of you buying a degree in social media i have some ocean front property in nevada to sell you also! i even have a sweet deal on a used car that burns no oil and needs 0 gasoline as it doesn't have an engine, for a mere $500 extra i can even make it green as a Flinstone mobile.

It should be an off set of marketing and not an individual degree.

So when people get this degree and whine that they can't get jobs and are stuck with $80k in student loan debts, are they going to join the Occupy Wall Street crowd and demand that American taxpayers bail them out and pay off their loans while they wait tables?
