idk if the @Socialism fans will believe this but this is the first thread i've started since Socialism's Thread all the way back at the start of feb!
I'm evaluating my options right now and i'm looking for something I might actually enjoy...
This degree has the promise of something i'd find fun, but i'm not sure if it has the guarantee of a job that something like a Bachelor of Software Engineering offers. i'm not super keen on the second one because although i know there's good money there i'm not sure if i could handle working the rest of my life in that field.

Alternatively, what other history (or i guess english) focused degrees are there?
also, what kind of jobs can you even get in those fields?

ik a big option would be to do this as a double degree with education then teach history or do a pdh to be a professor at uni/researcher

tbh i dont think there are that many options, ik some work at museums but i think ur just best off doing a double if u want to major in history
