This is unfair, ask the many bankers, management consultants and analysts in the city with History degrees, the skills acquired studying History are valued in many careers. As effective writers and communicators, many History graduates become journalists, authors and editors. Being able to organise and manage information has led many to become outstanding researchers, librarians and information managers.
