Is a History degree so bad?

Not as long as you're realistic about what kind of job you want and how to get it.

Most jobs just list "college degree" as a requirement, and don't care what it's in. A history degree will qualify you for as many jobs as almost any other major, except the ones with specific job fields tied to them (like engineering or nursing). A history degree is only useless if you get it with the intention of applying to jobs you're not qualified for, or if you don't know how to sell yourself and get a job in the first place.

All sciences and pseudosciences are trash. One ought to never trust a systematizer.

No, you'll make a great burger flipper or coffee brewer.

Ongoing History Phd,

For b.a. I don't know, plenty of fags who do jobs unrelated to their undergraduate, but for graduate school its a big yes,
Yes It is bad, unless you go to top 10, maybe and this is a BIG FUCKING MAYBE top 20 colleges, your changes of getting a job are very small. There is a research on history job prospective by the american historian association or something, couldn't find it know but it basically analyzed that top percentile school get the lion share and there is very little dfference between schools at 30% and schools at %80, you all fight for scraps (adjunct community college jobs)

Unless you famils is rich/you are rich/have interference,have another good paying skill i.e. anyway that you can support yourself without a academic job you should not enroll into graduate school.

>getting a job matters
Disgusting systematizer.

You could always be a professional shitposter here or try to get that sweet nat geo / history channel money. Getting paid to look like an idiot and say a line or two would be a pretty sweet gig.

It does matter for many, not for me though.
