Education

Some webmasters go to college for 2 years and get an associate degree. Some webmasters need a 4-year degree to get their job. This all depends on if the job is complicated, high paying, or if it includes being the boss of a company.  There are 47 schools in the country that help major in being a webmaster.  Here is a link to the list:

During college webmasters learn how computers work, the Internet, and all types of communications. To strengthen problem-solving skills webmasters study math.  The last thing they study is English, so that they can write well in there posts. Most also study art and design.  They do this so they can work better with the designers that help make web sites.  There are no real other requirements needed but experience with computers is one thing companies look at when hiring.
