What professions from a history major?

<p>I have always wanted to become a lawyer, but I am having second guesses, especially with some members of my family already in top law schools. I really love history, but I am worried that I will either have to be a history teacher or a lawyer to get any jobs. Any other history majors or anyone have other professions that would be easy for me to go into after a history major. I have already done some googling, but I would love to hear some first hand advice.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Do a thread title search with "history" as the search term. This has been asked multiple times.</p>

<p>I've already searched nothing helpful comes up.</p>

<p>haha cool I want to be a history major also. I think you can pretty much get any job, because history is so broad. You can always work for the government I think.</p>

<p>I know a History major with a Master's as well, who works as an archivist for one of major studios in "Hollywood."</p>

<p>The question you should ask yourself is not whether you can get jobs with a history major, but if you want a job that doesn't utilize the information you loved to learn in college. Some people don't care if their job pertains to their major, others require it. If you want something directly related to your studies, history may not be the greatest option. If you don't care, by all means, major in history!</p>
