Yes, plenty of jobs utilise the skills gained by doing a history degree, that’s why history majors go into all sorts of diverse areas with exactly the same average unemployment rate as other majors. Again, this hating on the humanities shtick is old, outdated, and quite frankly stupid.
Oh, and what field is knowing how to write properly NOT a useful skill lol. Just saying, I have friends that studied history in my year that went to work in the DA office, work in HR, public relations, marketing, editing, finance, government jobs, etc.
I mean wow, dude, history is such a useful field you can't name a single job your friends got that actually uses it in literally any way. Truly money well spent.
I've got a friend with a history major, who digs up shit to sell to museums. But then again, I surround myself with competent people, so it's no surprise the one who sought out history major actually had an idea and goal in mind when they took it, and followed through with it. OP, clearly, not so much.
I mean I've known arts students who became sales ppl as well. That doesn't mean their university education was useful to their career, just that they couldn't find a job or didnt want to find a job in their field
Another comment of his is just perfect:

This is your brain on western education.
funny how only one of these fields isn't a complete blight on society
