history graduate options - finance

hi im considering a degree in history as it is something i really enjoy and am naturally good at. what are the possibilities of getting into finance ( preferably in retail/fashion) ? would you say valuable work experience is more important than a degree or not?
Thank you for your help :smile:

Are you talking about finance as in banking or more like buying?
How good will your grades be?
Have you considered doing a degree in retail fashion?
Wouldnt that make more sense than just History?
