Thought those Social Media Manager listings sound like a cushy way to get paid for surfing? Think again! This infographic from Socialcast proves that the Social Media Manager’s job is a hard one. Or it would be, if not for the expensive Aeron chair every startup seems to buy their employees.

The infographic isn’t without its problems, though. According to the image, 6% of Social Media Managers claim 10-19 years of experience, with a further 1% claiming 20+ years of experience. Social media as we apply the term didn’t exist that long ago. To those of you who like to stretch the truth a bit in resumes, at least try to be believable when you lie!
