Why did I major in history in college?

[stormbv]

I graduated from college almost 4 years ago. I'm working at Walmart right now. I'm doomed!

 

[Eureka]

Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

History teachers are awesome... I haven't had a bad history class yet!

[bigrash]

what were you planning to do with a history degree?

 

[sash1]

there is 1 thing you can do with a history degree: teach

have a good life! and happy holidays

 

[FoBoT]

you just need skills , your degree subject doesn't bind you to anything

 

[AnthroAndStargate]

History is awesome. Go to graduate school and become a prof if funds allow, or teach High School - I had incredible High School history teachers!

They do? Why the hell did I become an engineer then?

Average salary hits almost $44,000 = $21.15 per hour on average (assuming 2080 hour year - Teachers put in more time than most think). Starts around $30k

Wow, thanks for the responses! They have given me an idea: I could substitute teach instead of working at Walmart. The pay would surely be better. The only thing about teaching is that I don't know if I could handle the kids. I'm worried that they'd run all over me.

Why DO people major in stuff that isn't applicable??

This is either a parody or you have no ambition. Get some, or you won't go anywhere in life no matter how many good ideas you get from ATOT.

A lack of foresight?

I'm not ambitious enough to make a parody thread.

Don't fret...you'll have your time.

If you can't teach, why don't you go into researching history...then writing History books like David McCullough.

Or even be like Tom Clancy who used to be an insurance agent and now writing awesome fictional military novels/books.

LOL, I was a history major too. I hear the major is good for law school if that's your thing. Me, I'm back in school getting a BSN.
