This is going to be a possible violation of the rules, may moderator Zhukov strike me down if thats the case.

But i worked as a librarian for my university in college, i was in finance and the only non-literature or history major in my group. I now volunteer periodically at the same library.

Historians need support staff just as much as everyone else, but they dont always have the budget to find this. Volunteering your time to support them will teach you a lot along the way, and can eventually find you a job in the field in the same way that museums have admin positions. Ive become the go-to guide on microfilms for my library, which encompasses the vast majority of our newspaper and paper media storage, and i was the only person with the curiosity and bandwidth to learn it.

There is absolutely a role for EVERYONE in history, but i cant speak to making a career out of it. I can speak to using non-history skills to find a place where you can support historians, i can speak to the importance of doing this, and i can speak to the quality of people you will be working with. Theres very few people who become historians for the wrong reasons, its not a lucrative or traditional path.
