US News and World Report this week lists "The 7 Best Jobs for Facebook Addicts" (via the WOMMA Word). Go to the article for the why, but to spare you the suspense, the list is below. I’m only counting 6 jobs though, unless one of the sections is supposed to be for two, like #5.
- Recruiter
- Social media marketing manager
- Photographer
- Analyst – User operations
- Tech reporter / blogger
- Product managers and developers
