An Irish university is gonna offer an actual degree in influencing. For reals.
In all honesty, it’s more like a marketing degree. However, this degree actually IS for social media.
A university in Ireland has announced that it will offer the country’s first degree in social-media influencing. At the Southeast Technical University in Carlow, The Bachelor of Arts in Content Creation and Social Media is set to open for applications in November.
So why, you may ask? According to the school, topics covered on the four-year course will include business skills, video and audio editing, critical cultural studies and creative writing.
It’s no surprise, really, because there is certainly a growing interest in the need for social media experts. Potential students and employers can both benefit from this degree. In the end, once they leave college, the hope is that graduates will be prepared to either work for themselves as a self-employed influencer or in creating content for a company.
For parents, this is another good guide regarding social media and their kids at school.

Pennsylvania Haunted House Named the No. 1 Scariest in America
The leaves are starting to change colors in Pennsylvania, and spooky season is officially here. When it comes to haunted houses and haunts, Pennsylvania has some great ones. As it turns out, one local haunted house has been named the No. 1 scariest in America.
The crew at Hauntworld.com has unleashed its annual “Hauntworld Top 13 List,” which highlights the 13 best haunted houses in the U.S., according to their tally. Hauntworld.com is the world’s biggest directory of haunted attractions, boasting more than 4,000 haunt listings. Hauntworld.com has been publishing it’s Top 13 Scariest Haunted Houses list for roughly two decades.
“Every October, thrill seekers travel the country looking to visit the scariest haunted attractions in America,” they state in the study. They add, “Today many websites publish haunted house best of lists, for click bait, despite never attending or researching any of the attractions on their list. Hauntworld is the leader, creating content for the haunted attraction industry, publishing the industry’s only magazine, Hauntworld Magazine, and how to videos with educational content for attraction owners. Hauntworld knows the haunted attractions and which haunts will make you scream!”
You’ll find a variety of haunts on this list. “This year’s top 13 lists includes haunts in real haunted asylums to others built into abandoned concrete factories to old turn of the century school houses or deep in the woods where no one will hear you scream!” Hauntworld states. “This year’s list of the best and scariest haunted attractions has something for every traveling thrill seeker.”
What’s more, many Americans actually make a fall vacation out of visiting the best haunts in America, so having a haunted house on this list could bring tourism. Read on for Hauntworld’s 13 best haunted houses in America, and not that one Pennsylvania one is actually the No. 1 in the nation. Happy haunting.
