History Majors

I think history is one of those majors that doesn’t necessarily lead to a career in history. At an alumni send-off last year for incoming freshmen, several alumni of my school shared their majors and their current careers, and several majors didn’t necessitate a certain career field, like history and English. For example, a business major translates very easily to a career in business, but a history major could do almost anything–even in non-history related fields. The history major there worked as a consultant to a fortune 500 company. I think if you want to major in history but don’t want to become a teacher, you should make sure to intern in your potential career field–public relations, business, whatever.
