Useless unless you wanna be teacher but that's too common.

I have a question Can I become a history teacher or historian if I study International Relations? I love History so much but in my city there are no history degrees to study, only Bachelor of IR and I think this might be related to History. Thanks in advance

I rendered a dozen years in a pizza joint after graduating; and I am fun in bars (taverns, to be specific).

Mr. Beat has been all over my fyp

History is useless imo it's my worst subject. I get through life just fine. Yesterday's trophy's doesn't win tomorrows games. I don't like to look back I like to look forward look what happened to lot's wife when she looked back.... anyway yes people did lots of amazing things in the past good for them! You work on something yourself that's great now and in the future.

one time completed an end-of-term book review report by listening to an audio book instead of reading(mine was on Blair mountain). i did this 2 days before it was due. i ended up with an A, due to the commentaries i provided that listed my grievances on the lack of..... let's say *transitional* information on how the coal unions operated in West Virginia and the exact information on the battle of blare mountain. this book in question was not written by a single person, but by *Charles Rivers Editors*

I see a lot of people in the comments saying “history is something you can learn on your own time!” Okay, sure people can definitely learn history on their own time but how many people are actually studying history correctly? From what I seem to notice is that for people who do study history on their own time is that they hop on KZbin and just watch stuff on military and war. If all you study on history is the military and war aspect of it then you’re studying history wrong! There’s much more to the study of history such as politics, ideology, theology, art, architecture, and science which pursuing a history degree can help diversify your perception of history. Not to mention you can’t learn research skills that can help you get a job doing museum work or archiving when learning history on your own!

Looking at MA in History @ APUS

Why can't you just go to library or the internet to learn about History instead of wasting thousands of dollars for 4 or more years with student debt. You accomplish the same thing but in a shorter and cheaper time frame, but you still won't have any real employable skills.

Liberal arts degrees being worthless are in some respects true, but overall false. If you have practical minors with good internships and/or graduate degrees in practical areas then they are fine. Also, the “soft” skills taught no one practical degree can teach.

“I challenge that” challenge these loan officers giving me a call!

Lol! smh

Helpful. Thank you!

Is being in history major requires a lot of memorization?

The Answer is No.

I majored in history and ended up in the food&beverage industry doing marketing communications. Now I am doing my 2nd degree in alternative medicine. I won't say that my first degree was completely useless. I found myself using the skills I picked up more than the knowledge I learned.

Save for comsi, most STEM I know are not working in their field. All the money is being pumped into comsi and business. My friend works admissions (so this is purely anecdotal), the amount of students who put wanting to be the next Musk or Zuckerberg on their application is depressing. Then again, I'm in Europe so it's not a MAJOR investment.

Bring back this channel :D

This video really make me cry

The careers that pushed me towards history major Lawyer, Paralegal, Reporter, Conservation scientists, HR managers, Archivist, Geographer, Archeologists, Anthropologists

2:00 funny you should mention dimensions I came to your channel today hoping to find some history on the math of circles...

Yes.

I just found your channel and I cannot thank you enough for this video. I am a history major going into my senior year, so I've been starting to freak out about what I'm actually going to do with my degree. This video really calmed my nerves and I will definitely be binging all of your channel's content.

Join the military as an officer with a degree in History. Good choice.

Well I gotta say, I majored in history and graduated 3 years ago. I’m working retail and still in a large amount of student debt.

I am studying History at an Adventist Institution, completely ironic, backward and weakly founded. Thanks for the motivation!

HISTORY IS USELESS FOR THE SOCIETY AND HUMANITY

Liberal arts are bullshit

iam taking ESL my English is not so good but i want to Study in history people say in history i have to be Very good Writing and reading what should i do?

Hi sir I graduated bachelor of arts major in History.But i dont know how to use it in applying jobs.Who is not related to my course.How Can I apply my degree history in the various kinds of job. Like call center agent,a bank teller,and in sales. Hope you will notice me. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I have adhd and I see reading for information similar to in high school when you were about to take a reading quiz but didnt read the chapter, the scrambling for data and sequence is something I, unfortunately, got very good at. Im about to start my first higher-level course so wish me and my two brain cells luck lol.

Thank you 😍

I really really want to do this. This is really something that I genuinely love but the fear that my career options are going to be small is really concerning. Eight years of hard work is a lot just to exit the other side jobless. Uggghhhhh

Why do you need to go to college to read history books? Lol

One of the best commentaries on history on KZbin.

Hlo I am a history student..k.history importand illa nu yaaru sonna..science eduthu time waste aakkaa virumpala avlo thn..

I want to be an archaeologist. A history degree would help right ?

Do you take notes in a notebook or do you write in the book? What other strategies do you recommend to memorize what you just read, and develop your own argument?

You don't need to be in college to write good essays you know.

All these things work in developed countries like US, This does not work in countries like India. There are not much jobs for History graduates here.

Thank you for sharing . I'm considering archive work as I enjoy history, reading and writing.

Hey I have lots of questions for you if you could possibly message me it’ll be greatly appreciated :)

It is ridiculous. If you are interested in history read a few books on the side but dont waste valuable time and resources on a 3 year degree that is not going to get you anywhere. The whole point of getting a higher education is to get a decent job. There is a limited need for historians in this world. So the rest of the graduates are going to end up in dead end jobs unless they went to ivy league universities

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are overrated. But majors like history, english, astronomy are underrated.

The idea about letting your brain mature more before heading into college is really good. I have always felt that if I go to college immedeately after finishing High School (which is stressfull as it is ) that I would be overwhelmed with the amount of work while at the same time discovering myself, getting my adult life started, and a whole lot of other things.

History useless but look what trumps ignorance on history causes...ha

lol i wanna get a history degree with a masters in education so we'll see where i end up in 10 years

Thanks for this video. Allow me to make a very long comment in defense of a History degree. Would you like fries with that? In the US this is the usual bashing concerning history majors and I really think this is very unfair to those who chose this field and those who are still planning to. It's as if the bashers are sure that history graduates always end up like this. I know a number of graduates from other fields who are also unemployed or end up with low-paying jobs. This happens of course to all graduates who do not know what they want for their career path. But if you know what you want and do excellently with the skills expected from you, you can surely think of ways of presenting yourself as a valuable employee whatever is your degree. Just like other courses in the Humanities, History takes creativity of the mind and the will to make sense out of it. Indeed, it does make sense, and mostly, only those that are in the Humanities can relate to this. People inclined to these fields are the most appreciative at the same time avid sympathizers of the achievements and struggles of the whole human race. Thus, they are among the most suitable individuals to get involve in "projects" the suggest "solutions" to the problems of the ever-changing society. They can partner well with STEM people who are concerned in making this world better and a comfortable place to live and assist them in understanding the important surrounding context (historical, social, political, cultural, religious ...) that are needed to be more effective. Policies and policy-making become more holistic with the presence of Humanities people. They have the ability to transcend and look at things in many perspectives. Those who say you can't do much with a history degree are probably the most narrow-minded people and immature (forgive me for saying this), only seeing the world in black and white. But the world is more than just that. It is in fact very complicated. Needless to say, this world needs the presence of both soft (arts, humanities and social sciences) and hard sciences (pure and applied) to be balance. Otherwise, this world is cold and boring. So, for those who wanted to have single/very focused skill, you may continue pursuing STEM courses. And for those who love to achieve broader skills that HUMSS can offer don't let the negative impression and narrowness of people hamper your desire of pursuing/studying history alongside other humanities courses. Additional note: A history degree may not be an easy way to success if you are planning a career that is outside of the teaching profession, if you don't want to become a practicing historian, or if you're looking for a job that will give you an instant high salary. However, it is a very helpful option if you plan to proceed for advanced studies associated with it or plan to venture into work institutions concerning the following: - Heritage preservation, Museology, Public History, Cultural Mapping - Archaeology - Journalism, other types of writing jobs, transcription; media, the film industry - Global studies, International Relations - Theology and Religious Studies (having a history degree before pursuing this area will surely be handy and more interesting) - Conflict Studies/Peace and Development; Human Rights, Gender Studies - Law (combining History and Philosophy as a preparatory would be an advantage) - Foreign languages (combining history with this field opens other interesting opportunities especially for those who wanted to explore/travel the world) - Interdisciplinary research with science and technology fields: Digital History - ex. Applying Geographic Information System (very useful also in Environmental history). There's also Cliometrics for Economic history.

It is funny that people says that History gives you analysis skills, perspective, communication skills, critical thinking skills. However, almost any college degree gives you these basic skills. And people with just basic skills are not interesting for employers who easily can hire other people with more than these skills.

This very vidoe reminds me of linux and how its under looked in the tech world; OVER ALL *GREAT VIDEO*
