any thoughts?

<p>What do you want to do?</p>
<p>There is obviously some overlap between English and History; you will be reading works of literature selected from various time periods that reflect the attributes of there era. If you want a really comprehensive understanding of a literature of a certain period (or contrasting periods) than studying history can work very well. But the question remains: What do you want to do?</p>
<p>With just a BA, your options would seem to be: journalism, editing, publishing, teaching, or maybe a museum curator or something like that.</p>
<p>Although you could do most of the above with English/IR as well.</p>
