What are some careers that I could have with a history major?

	What are some careers that I could have with a history major? I know that it depends on how far I study as well, but I could use some actual careers besides being a teacher. Not that there is anything wrong with being a teacher, I was just wondering what else I could do. I really enjoy history and for the longest time it has been my most favorite subject. I just want to know what is out there for me. Just some general things that you know will be fine.I don't have time to be talking to advisors or counselors right now. I've got lots of homework...Thanks Y'all. Asked By: Ghurricane87 - 10/20/2006

I am also a history major. Look into state, local, and federal jobs. Many jobs with government entities require a degree and only in very specialized jobs do they care what the degree is in. I knew a bunch of military officers who had degrees in all sorts of stuff like film and english. History is a great degree to have if you want work for the government. History is not going to hold you back as long as you develop some sort of decent work experience. Have you thought about getting a minor in business just in case. Police departments pay more for cops with degrees. Chain retail stores hire people with plain old BA's for management. Managing a grocery store may sound lame but some of those guys make a ton of $$$$!!! Many banks hire for financial services and the only requirement is a degree, and not necessarily in Business. Working for insurance companies, stock broker, etc. Start looking at jobs with on the job training. My stockbroker has a degree in journalism and my other stockbroker was a submarine officer!!! Many companies may start you out at the bottom but you will get to the top if you aren't an idiot and you have degree. Unless you want a specific job (accounting, engineer, biologist) your degree isn't going to limit you. Employers want to see that you are trainable and that you can accomplish a large task. Just having a degree makes them feel all warm and fuzzy about your ability to take on a large workload. I know a girl who has a degree in sociology and she sells pharmaceuticals. Start networking!!!!!! Nepotism is how the world really works!!! A degree is only half the equation. I know plenty of people with some pretty big scientific degrees but they are destined for mediocrity because they have no social skills and are terrible employees. Just remember you need more than just the sheepskin. Hope this helps. Oh, and the guy who got a history degree from my school started the Discovery Channel. Bet he regrets having a history degree:-) Answered By: SL - 10/21/2006

There are some jobs, such as, as ppl already said, archeologist or historian, but they are few and far between. you can still be part of history in your spare time, reading books about it and such, but you're much better off choosing another major. if you like history, try going into something like movie script writer-you could get to research past events.

Museum tour guide or any other job in a museum - It may sound cheesy, but being able to teach your passion to, for instance, a group of students on a field trip, is very rewarding. 3. A writer for the newspaper. You could have your own column and talk about history that affects the present world. 4. A researcher 5. A book writer, or a person that contributes to the making of another author's books, such as school books. You can work on moments in history that you know the most about. 6.

Joe- Have you considered working in a library? Studying history gives you lots of "skills" for library work- research, attention to detail, etc. There are many jobs for "support staff" in libraries. If you want to be a librarian, you need to go on to library school for your Master's degree. Also, try the link I provided.

It is very common for history majors to pursue law or politics as the two often become intertwined. Education is also a large field for history majors, e.g. teaching, counseling, etc. There is museum work as a historian, researcher, etc. or a number of specialized fields depending on your area of specialty. For example, urban planning often takes into consideration, the previous incarnations of the city's development and progress for which history would be a very strong background. Try exploring collegeboard.com ((http://www.collegeboard.com) for additional insight or perhaps look into taking a vocation test to see where your areas of strength are.

It's an excellent background for a lawyer. It's a good background for a journalist. You could go to graduate school in public affairs or government. It's a good background for anyone wanting to go into government or politics. There are historical and archeological consulting firms that are hired by developers who have to check out if a site has historical relics that should be preserved. There are history museums; you could combine history and museum administration. There are state archives departments that have all kinds of fascinating historical stuff; they need people to work for them. I think there are people who are historical consultants for, like, films.

If you're tired of teaching, then I think the easiest option for you is to join the government service. They need writers who majored in History. Working at the Supreme Court (even though I was not a lawyer) was my first job after I graduated from my Philippine Studies (major in history and literature) at the University of the Philippines. And I never regretted my decision since teaching was never an option for me. If that doesn't suit you, apply for consultancy positions (for educators) or be a freelance writer/editor (either of school textbooks or other informational materials). That way, you can work from home. Good luck!:) Answered By: dorothy m - 10/20/2006

Just do what you're passionate about, and you'll find a way to make money. I've met many successful history majors in all sorts of industries (some of which were already mentioned): political analysts, essayists, writers, journalists, lawyers, management consultants, entrepreneurs. People always say to study something practical--something that will clearly lead to a high paying job. While there's some truth to that, I would suggest you do whatever you feel most drawn to, where your talents lie, and excel in that area. If you're not sure yet, then college is the best time to explore your options. You probably won't know until you leave anyway, and grad school will allow you to make a more targeted decision about your education. To an employer, someone who got a 3.8 GPA studying history, and sharpened his analytical thinking and leadership skills at school is FAR more valuable than someone who studied something "practical" like computer engineering, hated it, and barely got out with a 2.9, and a case of depression. Believe me; I've seen many of both cases. Take as many classes in different subjects as you can. Read often. Learn about the world, more about yourself, and eventually you'll find what you were meant to do. Goodluck. Source(s): Experience Answered By: riceriot - 10/20/2006

	Why do Canadians differentiate the word College and University,While Americans use the words as the same thing? In Canada, a College is a low form of education for skill trades jobs (sorry for discriminating between the smart and the stupid , they don't call it that though in order to lessen the discrimination) while University means the high level education for smart people.

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid.

I have a lot of questions, and hope that people who are self employed would be able to give me some pointers on getting my business up and running. Thank You in advance for your time and help. 2 answers - Asked By: Careerdriven - 4/24/2006
