[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of jobs are those with a B.A. in history getting? Kids graduating from schools outside of the top 50? [/quote]
I am curious about this too. It's great and all that kids from top colleges are getting good jobs, but only a teeny tiny sliver of the college attending population goes to these schools. [/quote]

I posted earlier.  My history majors work within the IC.  A history major is a clear signal that you can write well.  You don't necessarily have to go into a history-related career and you certainly don't have to go to grad/law school, as some of you claim.[/quote]

You are correct. My second choice other than law school was a fellowship PhD opportunity at Iowa State for Agricultural Economics. There are days I wish I opted for that choice, particularly after trading livestock and meat futures on the CME. History again was the most helpful platform. But I would have succeeded as a trader without any more school. My lifestyle was quiet and not in fitting with my trader colleagues - so I really wanted peers. [/quote]
