History
Many people who earn history degrees work as teachers, but there are a multitude of jobs that you can obtain with a degree in history. In fact, very few history majors go on to work as historians.
Education & Career Opportunities in History
Teaching may seem like a natural fit, but people who complete accredited degree programs in history work as museum curators, city tourism officials, and community development. History jobs also include working as a consultant to private firms and government agencies. Other historians work as researchers or advocates to a particular cause. In almost all cases, a bachelor's degree in history is the minimum education level required to advance to higher-paying positions, and the top jobs in the field require additional education, such as master's degrees in history or even PhDs.
Museum technicians and conservators earned median annual salaries of $37,120 in 2009, while museum curators brought home nearly $48,000. History professors earned more than $63,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, while the top educators in the field took in more than $110,000 per year.
