When people ask me what I do for a living, I usually say “I’m a Historian” with the same amount of pride as if I was Indiana Jones. Those who ask usually just reply...”oh.” Haha

But really it depends entirely on your job. If you HAVE a job. I am immensely proud of being a historian. I love the work I do and I love that I can have a career I’m passionate about. It’s a tough field to break into for jobs though, and I know a lot of historians who have been beaten down! Not to be negative, but that’s the current climate.
