Most people acquaint history majors with teachers, researchers, government workers or lawyers.
However, a major in history provides many more diverse opportunities than history-related jobs. Several different employment opportunities for history majors were highlighted at Wednesday's History Symposium, held in Washington-Franklin Hall. The symposium featured alumni panel members who shared information on work experiences, networking opportunities, interview skills and job opportunities. Approximately thirty students attended the symposium, which featured twelve Randolph-Macon alumni. Three sessions of panel discussion were held focusing on careers in public sector and law, communications and technology and business and finance.
