Alternatively, if you're looking at the post-grad route of a business/MBA masters, a lot (not all, granted) of courses at good universities specify an undergraduate degree in a social science, such as law, economics, management etc, rather than History/English Lit. I've also found History undergrads to have to find out information about law firms/a law career entirely on their own since their course is very academically focussed, whereas law undergads are hit in the face with BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR CAREER from Day 1. So it really depends on what you want out of your degree in the end.
