I’d also echo social media marketing! I’ve started marketing my app and just realizing how big of a business the marketing part is, and if you like optimization and running tests, then it’s pretty fun.

Run a bot farm.

I see a future for Python developers

Get a degree in a communications-related field (journalism, PR, etc) and that’s a good stepping stone into a career as a social media marketer and communicator. From there your world will involve online brand reputation, crisis comms, content creation, organic social strategy, paid social strategy, community managing, etc. All of that can help springboard you into a career in just about any corporate communications or marketing-related role.

Most jobs in social media are not influencers. If you have an idea of what you want to do, it’s easier to work from there.

Strategy – Typically highest paid, leadership position

Execution – wide-range of jobs from internships to managers

Analytics – Growing field, high demand

[Made_In_Chi]

I’m a director of social media at an ad agency. I consult businesses and help them create paid ads on IG/FB/Twitter/Tik Tok

[johnmflores]

All decent agencies should have social media departments with account management, creative direction, community management, etc… The smaller the place, the more hats each individual wears. Like others here, I wear multiple hats for a number of clients.
