What are careers that involve politics or history?

[Prosperous]

I am an upcoming senior, and I love love history and politics. I'd like to get an idea of the type of career I want to pursue so that I can better decide on a college.

Politicians tend to use both politics and history- run for public office! Lawyers, too, use history, though politics not so much...

just saying...you should take psychology

look into becoming a lobbyist...they don't make much but they fit your interests

[FriendoftheSea]

History is not an easy path. If you want to teach the subject at any collegial level, you are looking at about 8 years of papers and presentations. Other alternatives include specializing in a discipline (museology, anthropology, archaeology, archiving, ethnology) or writing. With my BA in History, writing remains my passion yet I work for myself and must fight every day to be published.

I even took a sabbatical to ponder if History was the way to go or if accounting, medicine, law would be easier (proposes a job at the end and yes, I had the grades). Finally, nothing could dissuade me or my passion for History. I learn every day and I regret nothing.

Good Luck.

The End.
