Howdy all!

As my final semester of my undergrad in History is half through I begin pondering the future that people with 'real' degrees have already pondered. Some of my friends want to go to grad school and my parents are encouraging me to do the same. I myself would rather do more military service by volunteering to go overseas and then get a 'real' job when I get back. I enjoy studying history but know that I will probably never be able to apply my degree in it in the real world and personally think that try for a master's would be a waste of money, my parents though tell me I'll regret not going to grad school which of course makes me reconsider my thoughts on it.

I'm just curious as to your opinions on grad school. Is it worth it for a humanities major?
