Most of the people who take my order at a local diner have first class history degrees!

But seriously the only career one can have in either as a lecturer, teacher or writer in the subject.

yeah thats what i am thinking, doing a teaching course after uni.

I know some people who read History and ended up working in the City (when times were good). The skills you learn e.g. researching, picking the important points from a load of literature, analysing books and documents critically to separate facts from fiction etc are all transferable to other jobs.

Just study what you are most interested in. Trust me, if you choose something you don't really find interesting and get bored, you could be at uni for longer than planned lol.

Fateh,

Veer Jee I am a POLITICAL SCIENCE/HISTORY major and after the degree I am either going to law school if I pass the exam or .......I was also thinking about doing a internship with the FBI if I dont pass the law school exam...or I was going to work for a local political party depending if I DONT get into law schooll which I hope with wahegurus kirpa I do get accepted hehe...

If you are in the United States and you are fluent in a second language meaning read and write the CIA is looking for collegestudents...you can goto their website and learn about their internship program for students....same goes for FBI.

best jobs so far with a history degree are.....

1. Historian at a Big famous library(cuz if you are a historian at a local library you wont be paid much)

2. 4 year degree can get you decent jobs which are NOT related to history as long as you have a bach. degree such as Banks,hospitals(I know someone who has a degree in american history working at a hospital managing their hospital records and he gets paid alot i mean alot and great benefits for him and the family)

3. I would recommend Sikhs to join the FBI/CIA...I dont know if we have a Sikh in CIA...but i've seen a sikh in FBI infact one of my close relative in new york is a certified lawyer who is going through training for a FBI Agent right now.

4. You can also look into ARMY/NAVY/AIR FORCE they hire historians who dont go into combat but are trained....your choice you never know when they need you for combat.

5. If you like law you can continue studying after your history degree and goto law school which I am planning on doing and which is going smooth for right now.

One advice my professor of middle eastern history gave me was.....A student with a degree in history is not tied to one path but many...so you will get great jobs with a history degree you would just have to work hard finding a good job.

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
