[quote=Anonymous]I'm not even going to argue the societal value of having trained historians with someone like you, OP. It isn't a useless job -- in fact, you in particular would likely benefit from some instruction in history. It's a profession that requires years of research, reading, and training. Most who undertake the endeavor intend to teach. (Every university in the world hires historians.) Others use their education in history to provide context and depth to fields like policy-making, law, research, journalism, etc. People who do nothing more than read a book in their spare time make up the teeming masses of Tea Partiers who think they understand their heritage and use their shallow and misguided conceptions as political weapons.
