Realistically, the only thing I'm good at is history. I DON'T want to teach. Am I screwed? Even my history professor told me not to major in it.
I CAN'T do anything related to math. I feel like a loser because I'll never be able to do anything cool in engineering or robotics or genetics or space or research. I feel like the only thing I'm good at is worthless. Is this true?
Is there anything I can do besides teach with a history degree?

I did an History degree and this friday im starting working at a bank.
Just study what you like ffs.
>>
Just fucking do it. Whats the worst that could happen?

>paying for someone to tell you how to interpret history
If you're going to do a social "science" than do Philosophy. But you should really just learn math and do something with applied math like accounting, cs, or finance.

A lot of jobs nowadays just need any kind of degree. As long as you get a good final mark it doesn't matter especially what you study, as long as it isn't something like feminist literature or gender studies or any of that nonsense.

Im in Canada.
5 big banks, applied as a teller at em. I knew someone at one of the banks and ended up getting a 25 hour a week gig...luckily living at home at the time so costs were low
Did well, and the bank paid for some shit to let me sell mutual funds (IFIC - useless and easy) and got promoted. Did well in the sales roles, got promoted to a Senior Sales Rep and recently the bank paid for more shit (CSC) to get ah higher position (Financial Advisor).
I'm not using the History degree, but it helped me a lot, clients love to talk and the history degree led me to enjoy reading which made me sound smarter I suppose. When I started as a Teller I also got better at talking to people which is pretty much 90% of sales in banks, the rest is product knowledge.

Uncle Sam paid for my history degree. Now he's paying for International Affairs grad school.

are you a (((globalist))) or neocon?
>>

Neocon. I leech off the defense industry that the baby boomers propped up after Eisenhower left.

Joke's on you, it was Keynesian stimulus in disguise.

Dang...Real talk I cheated on my degree. I took CLEPs and DSSTs for most of the credits. Thomas Edison State University, which normally has a residency requirement of 24, lowered it to 12 because I fight for Israel.

I am starting as a 'host' (to welcome the customers, help them with the ATM, give them a # in order to being attended, maybe manage new credit cards...)
Tbh the salary is low, but the environment and schedule looks pretty OK.
