Fashion History
What job could you get with a degree in fashion history that leaves you comfortable? I'm wondering because if I go to uni it's one of the things that are on the top of my mind and I don't want to pursue it unless I know there's something solid I can fall back on with it.

Maybe fashion design? If you like fashion, it may be better just getting an apprenticeship. Why waste the money and time going to uni.

Most graduate jobs don't depend on the subject studied, but to be blunt a degree in fashion history might be seen as flimsy by employers. The subject is trivial and unserious. It might be worthy of a module at a Mickey Mouse university, but not a degree.

I agree with SB. If you're serious about a career in fashion, forget uni.

A degree in a practical fashion subject at UAL might assist towards a hands-on career in fashion, but a degree in fashion history looks like the epitome of a degree with little use. Better, I suggest,
to do straight history, a useful degree for a wide variety of careers. There are a very few niche roles for historians of fashion, but such an historian needs, I suggest, a good grounding in general history. Lucy Worsley, for example, has a thorough academic training in history.

Thank you, you've been very helpful, I'm going to start looking into history degrees as I've got some time to figure out where I want to be!
