Internet Marketing Education

I deliver as promised: here is the LinkedIn based analysis of education of people working in Internet Marketing. It is not a scientific research, but rather a little snapshot...

I picked up the first 100 profiles that LinkedIn provided in response to my search of Internet Marketers all over the world and looked at their education.

The results are as follows:

1 - Lawyer
3 - E-Commerce
13 - Education not shown (I assume it is not relevant to the occupation)
14 - Computer and Technical Science
20 - Marketing
21 - Languages, History, Drama, Political and Human Science
28 - Business, Management, Finance, Economics, Real Estate

So, we can see that education of specialists working in Internet Marketing falls into the following categories:

3% - E-Commerce
23% - Marketing, E-Commerce including
51% - Business, Marketing and E-Commerce including
49% - all kind of various folks... who are Internet Marketing self-taught, just like myself...

If only specialists with the E-Commerce degrees worked in Internet Marketing, the Internet would be a very deserted place ;-)
