Calling all history majors and minors

“Career Day”

Wednesday, March 2, 1:30 p.m., Main 030 Do you know what you are going to do after you graduate with a B.A. in History? Out of twenty history majors interviewed, fourteen were going to be teachers, one was planning on working for the government, two were undecided, and three were going to be professors. When asked what other career plans they may have besides those listed in the survey, one student replied that he/she was going to be a “seeker of fortune and glory and all the sage wisdom of the ancients..or a lounge singer!” But, on a more serious note, another student said, “I am unsure what job | will have using my B.A. in history, but | am sure that my education will open many doors down the road.” That's probably the way most history majors feel about the future.

It is difficult to know what possible careers are open to history majors. More and more employers seem to be leaning toward hiring science students, Sowhatare some possibilities for history majors? Well, there is always

teaching. It is an honourable profession with many rewards; however, it is sometimes regarded as being an “easy” alternative. A history student may say to him/herself, “Well | can’t think of anything else to do. | might as well bea teacher.” This is definitely the wrong attitude to take. There are plenty of other alternatives out there. Students just have to go find them. For example, with their knowledge of History, students could become journalists, museum curators, archivists, researchers, or writers. Ifastudentisambitious, he/she could go onto graduate studies and become a professor, or spend time in the library sciences and become a librarian.

Whatever we history majors decide to do, there are a couple of things that we'll have to keep in mind. In the job market of the future, graduates will have to be resourceful and imaginative. Perhaps we will create our own jobs, setting up research or genealogy centres, for instance, to meet the need for information. Graduates will have to be flexible in their future careers. People will have to be willing to shift careers, possibly as many as four times throughout their lives. So, although you may start out as a writer, you may be forced by changing economic trends to take on another career. Let’s just face it. There is no job security in this world. If we are going to survive, we must be able to adapt.

So, before you make your final decision on what you are going to do with your B.A. in history, takea look at some of the options. On March 2, in Main 030, at 1:30 p.m., the History Society is putting on a “Career Day”. Ed MacDonald, a member of the P.E.l. Museum and Heritage Foundation, will speak on how he used his history major to help him in his career as a museum curator. Harry Holman, P.E.I.’s Provincial Archivist, will also speak on what one can do with a history major in his field. In

addition, there will be speakers on how to become a History professor or teacher, and

on how to get into graduate school. It should be an interesting and informative afternoon. So, come find out what you can do with a history major.

If you are interested in joining the History Society, drop by any time we are havinga meeting, Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m., or phone me, Josie, at 628-83 18.

Hope to see you at “Career Day”, Wednesday, March 2.
