So I’d love to study history but studying law

Guys what do you think which degree is better? I’m most likely to study law but I know that history is something I’m much more interested in. However what career aside form a teacher (which I don’t want) and a professor (which is a dream but extremely difficult to get) can history provide ? Thanks
I would probably go for a history undergrad rather than law.
I studied theology.
With a history degree you could become an author, civil servant, curator, journalist, librarian, politician, presenter, office worker.

Depends which uni and how much you enjoy it. If your uni is good enough, then History would be fine and you could cross qualify.

Thanks for the answer! Can I ask what are you doing now with the theology degree?

Cross qualify - you mean GDL? And I think about RG if I get the grades

If you dont get the grades then its unlikely your legal career is going anywhere.

I’m not an expert but I heard from somewhere that if you do a degree like literature, history or Philosophy then you can do law after (like not as a full 3 year degree)
