I read today that my company has hired an expert on pop culture to go to fashion week and blog about it. It made me wonder how does one become a pop culture expert, exactly? Is there an actual POP CULTURE Degree?!? Is it a bit of modern marketing BS? It really made me go Hum.
I decided to Google it, because I thought hum… I could do that job. No, really, I could.
The answer, in a word… is No. You don’t need a degree*. You just need an internet connection.
How to become a Pop Culture Expert…
Thus, I hereby declare myself a Pop Culture Expert. I have an internet connection. (You can pay me the big bucks now!)
*I did google pop culture degree – there are actually universities and colleges offering pop culture degrees. It looks like it’s a MASTER’s Degree, and requires a Bachelor’s of Arts. So, I while you may not “technically” need one to call yourself a pop culture expert – if you want that piece of paper, I guess you could get it.
