History Degree Career Options.

I am very passionate about History and would love to continue my studies even further in University. I however don’t want to go to Uni and get a degree that isn’t very useful and get into a lot of debt for no reason.

Does anyone know any good careers for History Degrees. If so please let me know.

Pretty much anything that isn't medicine, engineering, or otherwise very scientific. For example, approximately half of all UK lawyers do not have law degrees, and amongst those the most common degree is history.

Other options: academia, teaching, the civil service, journalism, publishing, lobbying, whatever.
