You're a Facebook junkie. Even if your employer is in the 54 percent of companies that ban employees' access to Facebook, you don't really care because you're in the 30 percent of people with Facebook in their pockets thanks to your mobile device. Bathroom break? Post a status message. Unnecessary bathroom break? Wish your friend a happy birthday. You take the stairs instead of the elevator--slowly--just so you can play City of Wonders (and Farmville before that, and Mafia Wars before that).

Still in denial? Best to measure the depth of your addiction. Compare your numbers to those of the average Facebook user who:

• Has 130 friends
• Is connected to 80 groups, events, and community pages
• Creates 90 pieces of content (e.g., status messages, link sharing, photos, messages) each month (yes, that's per month)
• Spends an average of 6 hours and 43 minutes on Facebook each month (again, that's per month)

Channel your Facebook talents into a new career

It may just be a matter of time before your over-the-top Facebook tendencies land you in hot water at your job. Avoid that slippery slope--and the stairwell--and channel your urges into one of these ten careers that both benefit from and encourage your Facebook expertise.

1. Business development/product manager
   Businesses recognize the potential in Facebook's user base, which is why more that one million Web sites have integrated with Facebook and why thousands of businesses are developing Facebook applications. Why shouldn't you be one of the people who drive business decisions to develop Facebook products?
   
   Suggested degree: Computer Systems MBA
   
2. Internal corporate communications
   More companies are using social networks in their internal corporate communications strategies. You can help your employer start positive conversations about its products, customers, employees, and services.
   
   Suggested degree: BS in Communications
   
3. Application developer
   Wouldn't it be a personal point of pride if a Facebook application you developed joined the 550,000 applications currently on Facebook? Think what comments your 1,500 friends would post when you shared it!
   
   Suggested degree: BS in Computer Science
   
4. Public and community relations
   New media and social media have changed the scope of public relations. Now companies need public relations people to help manage their brand, which includes the management of Facebook profiles as part of their overall PR strategy.
