History would actually be a great major if they taught you how to use it outside of academia.
Not really, because it doesn't really have any real world applications outside of archaeology.
That's the problem with most of these degrees, they lack a real world application and are ultimately ponzi schemes with a very tiny sliver able to be successful by getting into positions of teaching to continue the ponzi scheme going and taking advantage of the majority that end up never being able to find a job that requires such a degree.
Although every world leader should have a good and honest historian at his right hand.
It's a rigged game, for sure. A BA in History could spend years researching and writing a book on his own and can't sell it because he's uncredentialled, so he whacks it up and takes a couple of chapters and turns it into a dissertation. Now he gets a UP to back his book because he's an academic.
And no one reads it anyway
