<p>How well I remember the dot com boom- when many colleges quickly put into place a Major in E-commerce or Internet studies or some such things. Their graduates ended up with degrees that absolutely could not be monetized- by the time they graduated with their specialty degrees the boom had gone to bust. The ones who had enough comp sci classes eventually were fine; the ones who had taken an integrated media type curriculum were really stuck. They have since re-tooled themselves as Social Media experts- but frankly, there is no degree program required to get a job in Social Media.</p>
<p>So there are dangers in this flavor of the month business. But carry on; apparently we all still believe that nobody can tease out that Neurosurgeons make more than Speech Therapists without a government mandate to tell us so.</p>
