university major

[theory of knowledge]

i like history, but have second thoughts about studying it in university next year--i heard its hard to get a job with it, but i like it, so the situation becomes problematic.

fellow dj advice appreciated.

 

[Toushi]

Yeah... I like History too, but since it's hard to find a job, I don't really know.

 

[BlackAccord]

yeah history is tough

im in communications now (already in college), like tv and radio broadcasting

Where do you think History majors get paid from?

What is their source of income?

They can't get a job on their own, is it an established industry where entrepreneurs have no place whatsoever?

Why not change that? You are a DJ, can you think of nothing productive that history has to offer to todays failing society?

Easier to speak than to do.

It would be cool if he managed to do that, though. When I finish the 12th year in HS, I would like to go to college study about China/Japan. Yeah: http://www.clco.ilch.uminho.pt/Default.aspx?lang=en-US

That course. For me, it would rock a lot. But it's kinda hard though... Everyone is against me going to that course, and I think it's kinda hard to make money with the knowledge I would adquire after I finish my degree.

Don't want to steal your thread.

can you expand on that FF? interesting thought, but what kind of pathways are you looking at?

 

[DJ4Real]

I'm a history kind of person, it couldn't be too hard.

Take good notes and pay attention.

Dude(I love that word), I aimed the QUESTION at you. Do you expect me to do your homework for you?

How has History survived? How has it developed? How have new discoveries been made. Man, everybody looks back on history, but next to nobody sees a damned thing.

I don't think your ever going to go out and hold a rubber ball moulded by Mayans. I'm never going to set foot on the ground of a crumbled civilization. Buddy living next door to me probably doesn't give a sh!t right now whether or not the Romans won any wars however many thousands of years ago.

Today, we've got ethnographers, dudes who go out and spend months in the field studying anthropolgy. Field testing theories of old culture, and societal boundaries of societies none of us will EVER probably hear about.

There are hisotry teachers in High school, whoteach kids about their own country, and of other countries. They teach kids what mistakes they made, and told them not to make them again. They're doing a shatty ass job of it if you ask me.

A thousand years ago, some dude invented something and wrote it down in a book. Today, 50 people are fighting over who gets to keep the invention.

Last month, a company crumbled, and now they need somebody with the skills to investigate how far back the corruption goes.

Man, without even THINKING of entrepereneurial possibilities(movies, books, antiques, field work, privelages, settlement claims) I just rang off four(to me) of the most important fields that a history major can look back on.

Now, you are a DJ... what do you see in the field of history, that you can grasp FULLY, and do a b!tchin ass job doing? You can always write thesis, and do extra work on the side. You can write proposals, and ask for funding from governments around the world. If you approach a businessman, who will let you sling R&D strategies at em, you can open up trade between museums NO sweat.

It's all up to you though, if you think the economy is going to collapse, look at history as your own personal goal.

i worked in my mums doctor office for a few years and we always had drug reps coming in. finally i bothered to ask one what kinda college major she had, and she said history. i asked her how that got her a job as a pharm representative, and she said it really doesnt matter to alot of employers, as long as you have college degrees. its all about the expanded knowledge that they want she said.

meh sounds sensical to me i guess.
