What kind of degree does a person have to get to work as a historian? I'm interested in any job that involves history. I like museums and being in history classes. I enjoy learning about why things are the way the are by looking at their past. I prefer thinking of a different time period and how everything was then instead of thinking about what's happening now. And how all this will be in a textbook that will come out in maybe a decade. Although I prefer U.S. history, I don't completely hate the idea of the history of other countries. History has fascinated me and I'm quite curious to know what kind of history jobs are out there in the world. I would like to do something history related in my future-anything would work for me.
