A few years ago, in a discussion of Antisemitism in European history, my old history teacher mentioned that during the first great Bubonic Plague outbreak in Europe, many Jewish communities suffered far fewer deaths than in the general population. He stated that this was due to the far more sanitary conditions in most Jewish communities, which he said was due to traditional Jewish customs of cleanliness. He also said that Jewish communities suffered backlash and even pogroms in some areas as a result of the plague, because it was observed that there were fewer Jewish victims, and as a result some people came to believe that Jews had called down the plague on the Christian population.

Now excuse me if you believe this question is not well-adapted to this subreddit as it does not deal with actual history. I thought it would be alright to post here as some of you may have degrees, and I would likely get a good answer. So with that in mind, what careers or opportunities would open up to a person with a history degree?
