Paul Sturtevant's article for the American Historical Association, "History is Not a Useless Major: Fighting Myths with Data," offers up some data from the American Community Survey on the fate of history majors as they pursue careers. We've long known that most history majors don't go on to become professional historians, but that doesn't mean they don't pursue careers.
Check out one of my favorite points from the article, screenshot ⇩ Turns out history majors get jobs.
However, we're not oblivious to the concerns who fear that studying history. We're incorporating digital and design projects into our classes, especially the digital and public history classes, to help students learn 21st-century skills and articulate the skills and knowledge they develop in our classes.
Turns out nearly half of history majors go on to graduate school ⟱ and many go on to work in education, law, and business.
