Management/administration in human resources, marketing, social services, property, colleges and medical/health services; market research/expertise; web development; computer user support; counseling (especially drug abuse & mental health); social services in healthcare, mental health and drug abuse; self-enrichment teaching; entertainment production; physical therapy; occupational therapy; speech-language pathology; nursing; radiologic technology; and insurance and financial services sales are the occupational areas in the 2014 exhaustive Bureau of Labor Statistics list (http://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_102.htm and http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000) that meet the criteria of: at least 8% expected growth 2014-2024 (better than average), at least 50,000 expected openings 2014-2024, at least $40,000/yr mean pay in 2014, entailing college, and not requiring an extensive medical education. Paralegal work, which may interest you (http://www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/justice-studies/blog/what-i-wish-i-knew-before-becoming-paralegal/), only failed to make this list because its 7.6% expected growth is under 8%.
According to the approximately 83 survey respondents at http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Degree=Bachelor_of_Arts_%28BA%29%2c_History/Salary with a BA in history, 21 became lawyers and 18 were high school teachers. All the rest were in some kind of administrative office job. The survey respondents at Student Review dot com show more diversity and less of them are lawyers.
I speculate that most of the history BAs that have gone on to work in administration would be doing their jobs better had they taken some business courses. It might, in fact, have been better had they majored in business or organizational management and just taken a few courses in history. Since history BAs generally work with people a lot, history students shouldn’t get “lost” in books, but rather should keep active with, and learn about, people.
