Besides the obvious, education, many other options are available. Past students have gone on to law school, while others have pursued careers in government. Recently, a student in history continued on to film school and another is teaching English in Mexico. Foreign relation jobs are another career choice easily obtained with a degree in history. Other career opportunities available are museum curator, information specialist, librarian, biographer, corporate historian, research analyst, editor, writer, book distributor or book sales representative.
