What can I do with a History degree?

From Professor Catherine Lavender, Department of History, College of Staten Island of the City University of New York

Only a small percentage of history majors go on to be historians; most go on, instead, to become lawyers, librarians, businesspersons, writers, archivists, researchers, teachers, politicians, and even entertainers. Leaders in every industry, from business to the arts, can point to their training as history majors as the starting point for their success.
