<p>What kinds of job oppertunities are there for history/literature/environmental science majors?</p>
<p>McDonald’s. Burger King. Wendy’s. The usual.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>can u tell us why???</p>
<p>ill tell you why, because none of those jobs require a degree, so if you applied to them you’d have an extra good chance at getting in ;)</p>
<p>haha…actually, i knew a girl who got turned down for all those jobs WITH a degree! lol… I guess a BA just isn’t enough to get you a minimum wage job! ;-)</p>
<p>Anyway… Kool, those are pretty much the liberal arts, so without some additional educational, they’re not particularly useful. With a teaching credential, though, you could teach. Also, you could look into grad programs in environmental science and you might find some careers. Together, history and environmental science could lead you toward politics, law, environmental activism, etc.</p>
<p>Certain majors, in or of themselves, do not qualify for specific jobs, but the general degree (along with a prestigious school and high GPA) will open doors. For example, medical school and law school accept people of any major (though med schools require a few science classes). I-banks recruit at top undergrads and care mainly about GPA, not major (though some related coursework would help). The foreign service recruits people of all majors. There are opportunities all over the place…you just have to search.</p>
<p>On the other hand, McDonald’s will likely reject you if you display your BA. They want people who are reliable, and who will stay on long enough so they don’t need to keep training new people. Your degree suggests to them that you’re not going to stay around.</p>
<p>I see. My friend is planning to major in environmental management or something like that, where he’s sort of like a consultant for businesses. Just out of curiosity, is there something like this for History majors? I know it sounds weird, but I was just wondering since it seems like a fun job. I’m planning to double major in history and either marine biology or environmental science</p>
<p>anything history/literature/art related is helpful for archiving and arts administration, or restoration. i have a friend who got her masters in musicology and works in arts administration now. something similar–literature be applied to being an editor (<em>not</em> a copy editor), an agent, and publishing. </p>
<p>but in general a liberal arts degree can land you a job anywhere that doesn’t necessitate specific knowledge. it’s actually probably better to have that if for going into business than actually having a bachelor’s in business administration.</p>
<p>Law schools are particularly fond of history and philosophy majors.</p>
<p>Fides, They are also of English majors.</p>
<p>Let get this straight. Business of law are possible careers with those majors. These to feild do not necessarily require a specific major. Environmet and energy efficiency is ne emerging market. And when all esl fails you can go to law school (history…) or to grad school be an environmental researcher and either teach or write books or both.</p>
