Yay! another history major. you can join me as a financial advisor. or you can be a car salesman. or a mortgage guy. or a researcher. or a writer. or a teacher. or firefighter. or entrepreneur. or...

the point is that unless you are going into a specific field that requires a specific degree (doctor, lawyer, teacher) your degree is 100% irrelevent after your first post-graduation job. that you have A degree is the part that matters. So enjoy the major that you choose. I loved history. still do.

I started out as history major, secondary education program. graduated with double major in history/foreign policy with not quite minors in psych and soc. none of those areas has specifically applied to my convoluted career path. they were fun things i was interested in and gave me something to focus on while getting that piece of paper. Enjoy school.

Good advice. I had the not quite minor in English, and not not not quite minor in Art History, because I enjoy those things. My liberal arts school required me to take a little of everything, then I filled in electives with things that interested me. The expanded horizons can never be taken away from me!

Thanks everybody. I considered there for awhile switching to a different school this spring and completing their fire sciences program. But after I looked at how close I was to completing my degree here in history, I decided that finishing up here, then moving on was the best route.

And in other, other news, an entire box of clementines I just bought at Walmart has molded in a week's time....
