SEO is a Hot Job - Who Knew?

A ran across a list today from Yahoo! Hot Jobs that listed 5 hot business careers you don't need an MBA for. The list?

  1. Event Planning
  2. Public Relations
  3. Advertising
  4. Web Designer
  5. Search Engine Optimization

You gotta dig it when your career makes a list like that.

Is anyone else noticing that all of these jobs have a lot to do with marketing? I guess salesperson/accountant/finance guy just don't count as "hot" these days. Or do you need an MBA to do those jobs? I'm confused.

[Update: Looks like SEMPO has put out a study on what search marketing folk get paid on average. If you're curious.]

They're hot jobs alright, which means they're friggin' hard to get.

For some reason the Top Gun quote about being "the best of the best" comes to mind. It can mean the difference between a mediocre ad job and a really kickass one.
