The History Program at UofT is extremely interesting. With courses that allow you to learn about the History of the world, you can still focus on certain geographical locations if you want.
While the Program is interesting, I have found that I’ve been rethinking future employment prospects. While it is true that a History degree can lead to occupations like Museum curators or Teachers, I’m not sure there are really many prospects for the degree on its own and would be valued much more if one took another related program such as Political Science.
To its credit, the History degree gives you skills in research, and helps you learn patience, and writing. Which can definitely give you skills to enter into interesting fields, maybe in online blogs or working as researchers. However, I believe it is harder to find a job that works well with your skills and your interests. After all, you wouldn’t want to be tucked in a career that doesn’t excite you.
