What to expect from History courses in college?

[Geezer57]

What should i expect from history courses in college. Im a history major (probably going to option in education, dont really want to but i dont know how else to make a living with history ).

Most of the history majors I know of, who aren't teaching classes in academia, are authors. My favorite would be Harry Turtledove ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Turtledove ), but Shelby Foote has to rank up there also ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_Foote ).

So work hard on polishing your prose!
