Answer 1

A history degree is often useful in pursuing careers in archaeology, museum services in curation and archiving, government work as the historian for military units, or as a writer publishing various works of history in magazines, newspapers, and of course books.

I work full-time as a maritime historian for a company that archaeologically excavates shipwrecks in deep oceans around the world. There are virtually no other jobs like mine, however, so that's not a typical career path. But there is plenty of opportunity for people who choose a specialty in maritime history - and there are a number of advanced degree programs in that specialty at US universities. Most of the employment is at museums and archives, in the US and other countries.

In all cases, you must become a skilled writer, and master grammar and spelling. A professional historian must publish. It is often important to know at least one additional language, depending on the area of history that will become your specialty. I am not familiar with university degree requirements now, but in the 1960's when I took a baccalaureate degree, to graduate we had to demonstrate proficiency in one or more languages other than English, so perhaps you have already addressed this matter.

Some corporations also employ historians, as do professional or trade associations. These are typically jobs that include archiving skills.

You can learn more by checking the online sites for museum associations, the society of archivists, and other groups. Be persistent and creative in launching Google or Yahoo searches and you'll find all sorts of information. This will help you consider what type of graduate work you should undertake. It also is a good - and fun! - use of your time to visit some local museums to talk about career options with the staff. You need not be asking them about a job at their organization, of course - but in getting information, you may discover opportunities.

If you choose to become a professor, you will absolutely have to earn a doctorate. While in your graduate studies, if you also work as a teaching assistant or lecturer, you gather important experience and develop connections to help land an appointment on a faculty. And again, remember you must write and publish!

Best wishes! It's marvelous to get paid to do what we love!
