I am currently thinking about which subject is the right one for me to study at university. One possible subject would be history since I am a history buff since I was a child. In my eyes I am also well qualified for the subject because I have good analytical skills, because I have quite good language skills and because I am interested in the subject and can bring a good basis of historical knowledge.
After all studying history won't be the problem- but finding a job afterwards seems to be. Cynics name taxi driver as the most common employment for history students. I know that there are, besides the 'classic' fields of the historian, namely reasearch and the education system, also chances in thinktanks or larger companies.


Since I know that the .Org consists out of history buffs (mostly) I hope that in here are some fnished history students who could tell about their experience since this might be interesting for people than just me.
