History Majors

Seriously, what’s the point of being one?

Sure you can ask a history major why they major in it, and all you’ll get is a pretty reasonable answer, but when it comes down to it, history majors don’t know what the fuck history majors do.

I thought graduation was going to be the greatest day of my life, but it was the weirdest wake up call ever. I was sitting down with about 300 other history majors, and while we were listening to a speech about how we’re supposed to be changing the world, we were all asking each other “what the fuck do you do with a history major?”.

I’ve been looking for a job for a couple of months and strangely no one lists down ‘history’ as a major they’re looking for. Well, it’s not strange.

What good are history majors anyways?

If you’re a history major you’re probably saying, “but we’re good at research and analysis.” Well, I got a news flash: unless you’re going to eventually teach history, there’s not much direct application of a history degree.

There’s only 2 things a history degree equips you for:
1) Being able to tell anecdotes of useless shit in front of your friends who all don’t care.
2) Trying to get your foot in the door to some entry level job that requires an Associates Degree in any other subject.
