Among the jobs you can consider are: advertising executive, analyst, archivist, broadcaster, campaign worker, consultant, congressional aide, editor, foreign service officer, foundation staffer, information specialist, intelligence agent, journalist, legal assistant, lobbyist, personnel manager, public relations staffer, researcher, teacher . . . the list can be almost endless.

More specifically, though, with your degree in history you can be an educator, researcher, communicator or editor, information manager, advocate, or even a businessperson.

Philosophy:

---

If you are talking "BA", one undergraduate degree is about the equivalent of any other. Concentrate on what you are interesting id doing, rather than what the degree will do for you.

If you are talking about a master's or phd, your career interests are probably a little more firmed up, and the advice is the same as above. The likely path seems to be academia, but you may have writing skills that you could use in any number of ways. Law, technical writing, journalism, politics, even entertainment. Or various kinds of research.

In short, a Philosophy degree can prepare one for nearly any field imaginable -- as it is "the love of Wisdom." From the rigors of LOGIC, to the benevolence of ETHICS, the tenets of Philosophy form a sound foundation for pursuit of fields as diverse as: the 'hard' sciences - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (Geology and Astronomy too); the 'social/soft' sciences - Sociology, Psychology, and Anthropology; this does not even speak to all other 'humanities,' of which Philosophy is a part.

It can definitely develop better 'critical thinking' skills, which can be applied, quite practically, in many fields. For instance, "Law" is an ideal choice for anyone who has developed skills of 'rhetoric'; the ability to effectively argue one's point/case/claim (as well as the justification for such claims) is at the very heart of legal proceedings.
