So are all the career paths I've read about like museum curation over saturated with 100 million other faggots like me or do they just not make good money?

oh course it is. there's the high school history teacher tier which doesn't really take any historical knowledge. teaching schools is a job by itself with the same qualifications regardless of subject. then there's the museum, it doesn't take 100 historians to run a museum. then there's the actual historian tier, which is being a university graduate with your fancy degree sucking off your colleagues as you travel the world together and write books that only sell to other graduates. which is great. but, no, you're not going to get into it unless you're already in the circle of historical accounting and knowledge and as someone who knows nothing about these things, you can take my word for it.

There's just not enough jobs. They only need a small number of curators, and the people that do it stay in the position until they're old enough to be on display themselves. The only job you're likely to get is a position as a HS teacher.

It depends what country you're in.

You do realise 80% of jobs don't require a specific degree. Just go work in Law/government/accounting/finance/banking/PR/Marketing/HR/NGOs or something, that's what all the history graduates in my country do.

It's not hard at all. Having a history degree shows that you have a very strong ability for critical thinking and attention to detail. I have a history degree and I work as a document checker for a law firm. They basically gave me the job after I described the process of my thesis because the skills were directly relatable to the position.

You're probably not going to get a job doing something history-related unless you go for archaeology instead.

I'm not interested in archaeology or anything, but where on Earth are there even places that haven't been dug out and excavated yet?

Basically everywhere, we're discovering new stuff all the time in pretty much every part of the world you can think of
