SEO DegreesWant to be an SEO? Well, we asked SEOs what degrees upcoming SEOs and SEMs should obtain.

The overwhelming number of responses were for marketing and programming degrees. Here is the breakdown of the 265 submissions:

:: Marketing said 126 respondents or 48% :: Programming said 66 respondents or 25% :: Statistics said 34 respondents or 13% :: English said 22 respondents or 8% :: Other said 10 respondents or 4% :: Math said 7 respondents or 3%

The other results were, Multimedia Technology and Design, Humanities, Journalism, Deception and scamming, Special Forces, Journalism, Finance, Physics, and none needed. Some of those responses were funny.
