I am about to graduate from high school in a few months i have been wanting to study history. History is a subject that i am passionate about but i dont know if it is worth studying in college. If i did study it, i would get a minor. I dont know if i should just learn through books and the internet by my own rather than in university since i dont know what jobs i could get with a minor/mayor in history.
A minor in history never hurt anyone, and it could help with employment regardless of the major. That's presuming you have good instructors: not all history professors are created equally! A major in history has a slim chance of yielding employment. There are possibilities out there, but unless it is the only thing that will feed your soul, I would consider the selection of your major carefully with an eye to your own enjoyment and personal growth combined with employment potential.
If you have good history instructors, what you learn can reach far beyond what you can find on the internet and books without guidance. That's not to say that it is impossible to "learn" history with the internet and books exclusively, but one of the most important things that good instructors can teach you is how to think about humanity and its past and how to critically evaluate sources. That process of education is what can make you employable regardless of your major, and it is the most difficult thing to acquire without instruction.
Congrats on graduating; best of luck!
Sorry about how I left your planet - good luck with that too!
If you're interested in it, you should absolutely study it, even if it's just taking some elective courses that sound cool! Having your name next to it on a piece of paper isn't the end goal, it sounds like, so I wouldn't worry too much about it hurting your employment chances. That's not to say at all that studying history doesn't give you marketable skills, it absolutely does! Historical research processes are really widely applicable to many other professions, especially.
But, in my opinion, the reason to study history is not because of employment; it's because it's both enjoyable and enriching on a personal level, and that is important. History isn't just a series of dates and events, or even a set of abstract processes; it's (to me, at least) a study of people and what they care about. And learning about how other people interpret the world makes you a more informed person in this age of media saturation (critical reading skills, yo!), and maybe offers insight into how you, personally, want to interpret the world. And I think that's reason enough to study it.
