yeah,

While I chose history as my major because i waiting till the 11th hour and had to pick a major, I will say that after discussing it with several people, it seems to be a major that will really leave the doors open to you upon graduation. As tsdad said, you will be able to read and analyze texts (especially long boring texts), be able to research about a problem, and then be able to write about it proficiently. While what you actually learn may not be advantageous to your career choice, the tools you learn will be invaluable. Fortunately for history majors, there will never be a lack of need for someone who can write clearly and concisely.
