| Making Your Career History |
|
My parents always told me to follow my interests and that would lead to a fulfilling career. But what if your interest is history? Are there many careers available to you? One of the great things about any arts major is that you are not locked into any one field. Your degree will have given you many transferable skills. History majors tend to be good researchers, communicators, writers and critical thinkers. People with degrees in history make great communicators, because they understand the way society works. Consider areas like journalism, librarianship or information management. There is also the option of becoming an educator, whether it is in the school system or at a museum or gallery. History majors could also find themselves working as researchers because they possess good analytical skills. Professional memberships such as the Australian Historical Association offer many benefits such as networking and job listings. At the end of the day I still believe my parent’s advice holds true - if you follow what you love, you’ll find the right path for you.
