• Learning about people – how they interact, the motives and emotions that can tear people apart into rival factions or help them to work together for a common cause (useful knowledge for team-building at work!)

History is practical too…It involves…

Learning about countries, societies and cultures – so many of today’s conflicts and alliances have their roots in the past; how can you negotiate with, trade successfully with, or report on a country if you know nothing of its history?

Page 16: An Independent Thinker Self reliant Disciplined Good at leadership? Able to work as part of a team Are you…

Learning to locate and sift facts – to identify truth and recognise myth, propaganda and downright lies (useful in every aspect of life!)

Presenting what you’ve learned in a way that makes sense to others – whether in graphs, essays or illustrated reports – and having the confidence to defend your findings.

HISTORY has great links to other subjects and careers you might be interested in:

History plus Art could lead to work in a gallery or auction house (perhaps via an Art History degree, though there are also opportunities for non-graduates) or you might want to become an architect or architectural technician, specialising in projects involving listed buildings and heritage areas.

History plus a keen interest in politics or a desire to make the world a better place could lead you into a whole range of career directions – local or national politics, charity work, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, or the Civil Service, to name but a few. The Armed Forces are also delighted to get recruits with an interest in history; all regiments are proud of their own history!History plus Media Studies could lead into print or broadcast journalism

History plus Craft skills could develop into a career in restoration work

History plus Leisure & Tourism could help you find work in the heritage industry (Stately homes, theme parks, etc.)History plus Drama/Theatre Studies could help you find a role as a costumed guide or re-enactor.

History plus administration skills (e.g. Word Processing, Accountancy, Business Management) could lead to you gaining experience in a variety of business careers then taking this, and your interest in history, into working for a heritage charity, or managing a historic property
