I think it sheds more light on your feelings. Added to the mix of what you already shared is a realization that you are studying something that was little more than a shot at what you hoped was better employ-ability. Students with bachelor’s degrees do better on the job market, period. Now, maybe history majors have a less direct path to a career, but they still get jobs, and they still outearn (on average) people without degrees. Connect with the people in your new department and be sure you look for internships.
