History grads job prospects I WAS pleased to read that there are still those who are interested in a subject tha most people find boring or plain difficult. There are various job prospects for us. For one, our beloved country has a lot of untold history, untold in the sense that there are still a lot of studies to be made and uncovered and there are not many willing or just not available to undertake the research. Furthermore, in the history discipline, we do a lot of research studies, and this teaches us to analyse situations and question their authenticity. These are some of the skills that we gain form the study of history.
Most people think it s all about dates.
Once you study history at the university level, you will find that it is totally different form the history that we used to study during our secondary years. I can guarantee you that. Therefore, Potential Student , do not be discouraged from pursuing your interest. We may not necessarily pursue a career that concerns directly with history because we have the skills to work in different government departments, like for example, research and development. Competition for jobs is stiff for all degree holders, not necessarily only history degree holders.
