[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I have a history degree, [/b]loved my classes and still value the research, study and writing skills I learned. [b]But, I had no help from my college translating the degree/skills to the workplace.[/b] It was depressing. I discouraged my kids from majoring in history.  I'd be all for it as a 2nd BA. Maybe open curriculum and encouraging students to double major across fields is the way forward.  Or better career advising and alum networks.[/quote]

100% correct.

Need to attend law school or business school in order to be desired by employers.

The CIA heavily recruits history majors at my kid’s non- ivy school. [/quote]

Lots of DCUM is not going to consider CIA a "lucrative" job. CIA is also very competitive especially if you coming in with no military background. They don't just want history majors. Or white people.[/quote]

They are ok with white people so long as they are women or gay.[/quote]
Posters here are incredibly protective of their white athletic boys.[/quote]

You don't have sons, brothers, husbands, so who cares?  :roll: [/quote]
