History related major?

<p>I am currently a pre-health biology major. My classes have begun to make me miserable, especially anything related to chemistry, and I'm losing interest in the degree and career path. It has been stressing me pretty bad because I feel that I'm working so hard towards something I don't even want to do. This semester I've been rediscovering my love for history and anthropology but I keep being told that it's hard to make a living in those fields. Archaeology is what stands out most in something I would want to do. Especially since it has the amazing traveling factor in it. I just need some advice towards the options in history and anthropology career fields and their related majors.</p>

It is indeed very difficult to make a living in those fields. I don’t want to discourage you, but you should be aware of the job prospects. Archaeology is a field that has a lot more interested people than jobs, and the few jobs there are don’t pay terribly well. Ironically, people with comfortable jobs and making decent salaries actually have more opportunities to travel than most archaeologists do.</p>

<p>If you decide to take that route, I strongly encourage you to consider something related to GIS. It’s relatively in demand and is quite useful. </p>
