What other careers involve studying history besides a teacher?

I love history. But, to be honest, I can't see myself as a teacher or anything like that. I also want a secure job, and I don't believe studying history will yield those results. Any advice? #history

Do I need to major in education to teach English overseas?

I'm interested in travelling in my twenties, and I hear that teaching English is a good way to make money while living in another country. Is this still a possibility for me if my major has nothing to do with education? #teaching #college-major #education #english #travel

Is it okay to pick a major that does not have a lot of job opportunities in the state you live in?

My current major is Apparel Merchandising and Product Development and with me being in Ohio, the jobs can be limited because it is not one of the larger, more fashion driven states. Would it be too risky to stick with it , and chance the possibility of relocating? #career #career-counseling
