Probably most of the career paths? Life is not a progression along a skill tree like you are playing Skyrim. Literally everything is still available for you to do. Except now you have the super power of strong awareness of historical context. This can be deployed at any moment in the form of a wry chuckle and a sad shake of the head.

A lot depends on your highest level of education (for me, it’s just a BA) so maybe other people with higher levels can expand on my list. The research jobs and database jobs that I’ve looked into (Buffalo, New York area) include law firms, insurance, HR positions and the obvious ones of teacher, librarian and museums.

BAs in history are also sought after for higher-level degrees/jobs including (but not limited to) elected office, law school, archeology, outside government agencies, non-profits and think tanks.

Public History. I have a friend who is a public historian for the Library of Congress. Everyone from his MA program got jobs and most of those jobs are paying a livable middle class wage. Not to mention they do some cool stuff!

Public history - jobs in archives, libraries, museum education or management or curation, preservationists and conservationists, park rangers, tour guides, archaeologists, journalists. Some require an MA, but many are achievable with a BA and internship experience. I've also seen a ton of history grads go into thinktanks or the nonprofit sector.

Focus on the skills that a history degree sets you up with - analytical, persuasive writing, in-depth research, public speaking.
