What careers could there be for someone who wants a career in history?
Garima asked:
I love history and i want to pursue a career in it but i’m not very smart. My gpa isn’t very good but when i take a higher level history class. I’d be willing to put the work in if i had to. Right now i’m looking at a career in art, i’m passionate about that but it doesn’t make sense to me like history does. History just clicks in my brain.

Have you looked into Art History?
Following the flow and evolution of the artistic world as it struggles to express the changing human condition over the course of time?
Might be Neat :3

Author, Historian, teacher, working in a museum. Also, you could major in Art (Fine arts?) and get a minor in Art History. Or you could switch majors. However that can be a pain. I’d look into minoring in some sort of history, whichever it is you want.

Careers related to history:
Lawyers - must know precedents from other law cases & history of laws, development of it. Once the tough part is done, being a lawyer is a lot of form filling and driving from office to courthouse.
Psychologist - must know decisions people make, why, and what their feelings are
Careers related to art:
Interior designer - design insides of hotels, business buildings, and government buildings to create different moods such as relaxation or efficiency
Museum Curator - maintain museums, arrange publicity, exhibits
Architecture - you can figure this out
I know some people are so stubborn that they have to be an art teacher or history teacher. Stubborn until they see their first paycheck. I’m pretty sure all of these jobs pay more, but ultimately, you decide.
