As it does in college, the job you end up in depends to a very large degree on what you do while you're in school to give yourself marketability. I love college teaching. Face it, we get the summer off, which is one of the reasons why we don't make as much money as other professionals. It's expected that you will use your summer to benefit your research and teaching, but the schedule is flexible and allows for travel and writing. If you are a parent, you can spend time with your children, and of course colleagues here at Juniata have been known to bring their children to the office.

If you love history, then you get to be in contact with it all the time. You also get the chance to learn more, not only for yourself but from colleagues. Opportunity to diversify . As I said above, history lends itself to a number of fields depending on how you develop yourself as a job applicant.
