[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why folks are giving examples of History majors going into finance or business or whatever, as "successful" examples. Successful examples are kids who work for Ken Burns, or get positions at Museums or become authors like David McCullough (albeit, maybe not at the same level), or become tenured History professors. Not the same, but if you ask a kid studying Film...they don't list some alternate career as their version of success...they list famous screenwriters or directors or producers...you know jobs in Film as what they are after. Do you tell your History major kids that you are fine with them studying history because you are so excited they work in Finance or go to Law School?[/quote]
