What do History majors do?

History majors acquire a wide range of extremely valuable skills: they learn how to analyze evidence and weigh its value, argue persuasively in verbal and written form, and perhaps most importantly, to write clearly and logically. Such skills are widely prized not only by professional historians but also in the fields of law and criminal justice, business and consulting, journalism and publishing, scientific and technical writing, education, government, media, and museum work.
