Hi. I'm a young teenager from Spain, and the next year I will start my studies at the college.

Since I was 12 years old I knew that what I really wanted to study was history, and I still was sure about it, but a couple of days ago everything messed up in my mind. I already knew that the labour market wasn't very kind with historians, but, is it that bad? The father of a friend of mine told me a particular case of a couple of friends of him who studied history and that weren't able to work in any job related to their degree until their 30s/40s. Also, I plan to move abroad in the future, specifically to Ireland, so I'm not sure if the conditions are the same that here in Spain nor if a historian coming from abroad is really attractive to institutions, universities, etc.

History is what I always wanted to study, but... is it worth? I'm not looking for the classic speech of ''you should study what you really want to study''. I already know that, but is it just possible to live from this degree?
