<p>I realize the question might be slightly confusing so let me clarify:</p>
<p>I know, without a doubt, I will be majoring in the Humanities. While my interests are constantly changing within this field, right now I am leaning toward History and Classics. However, I understand that neither of these majors are necessarily that marketable when looking for jobs. At the moment I don't have a desire to go into academia, so I am trying to look at classes and minors that can beef up my resume and make me more desirable in the job atmosphere. With this thought in mind, I am looking at minoring in business (if this won't help me much, then just tell me now). I am not very good, or interested in, math, so finance and accounting are out for me. But in terms of marketability of Business, which minors do you think would be best: Management, Information Systems, management of IT, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management.</p>
<p>I understand that the question is very specific, but any advice, whether it applies to me specifically or finding jobs in general, or business for that matter, would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Marketing might fit you better- its about communicating the business and its products to potential customers. It requires creativity, excellent writing skills, thinking like the customer. You’ll use IT but not in any heavy way. Having some graphic design classes could be useful along side this. </p>
<p>If HR is an option you could look into it. There’s a fair amount of data entry, especially at lower levels. But as you progress it involves a lot of employment law. Report writing and you need excellent interpersonal skills as you’ll work directly with both potential recruits, current staff and management. </p>
<p>Don’t underestimate the power of networking in finding a job, regardless of major. An internship in a field you’re interested in while at college can demonstrate a commitment and show your many, varied and wonderful skills gained from your history/classics major are completely applicable to the business field. </p>
<p>As ever, google famous history grads for a wider view of what’s possible. JK Rowling is a Classicist. As is the Major of London, Boris Johnson. Tom Hiddleston, the actor. There are classicists in law, politics, journalism, publishing, nursing, medicine, religious vocations, media. You have plenty of role models :)</p>
