  I appreciate you taking time to answer my question! i'll definitely think about courses, but would like to absorb knowledge about the fashion industry through real experiences (maybe an internship)
  
  Social media is a new concept, definitely. However, even though technology changes every few years, people will still have social networks (friends, families, coworkers, acquaintances, etc). Theories and techniques for analyzing how people communicate with their contacts have been around for a long time... so even if websites come and go, professors can study how people interact within their network through different communication mediums (in person, through telephones, websites, etc). Careers in this area would probably involve designing the technology to support communication within/through social networks, connecting with people... or even people who set up networks, very similar to this website. Currently there are "experts of social media", who consult businesses on how to reach out to consumers using web2.0 websites (i.e. facebook fan pages) as a marketing tool. They do things like analyze web traffic and other quantified measures. Btw, I'm not saying that's my career goal.
  
  whew, sorry about the long spiel.
