What can I do with a degree in history? This is a question that is repeatedly asked by students and their families when deciding whether or not to study for a history degree. The good news is that history produces individuals who are well equipped with a multitude of skills, and are able to enter a diverse number of careers. Posthistory professional achievement is about a combination of factors, from degree classification and making informed career choices, to a professional curriculum vitae detailing work experience, volunteering and participation in extra-curricular activities.
Most students start history degrees knowing they have a passion for the subject, but with little or no definite career ambitions. This is not a cause for concern as the duration of the course allows for the formation of career decisions. During your studies it is advisable to develop your understanding and thinking with regards to the career decision-making process. It is critical to think about what your interests are, consider what you are good at, what you enjoy doing and find out what different careers actually involve.
