I chose a history major at TESC because it was one of the faster, easier majors. I had the same question you did about what you can do with a history degree. I asked the degree consultant I was talking to and he basically told me that people are often more interested in the fact that you HAVE a degree, not so much what it's IN. Obviously, certain fields do require a certain degree (nursing, law, etc.) but there are a lot of other fields that don't require something that specific.

I haven't finished my degree so I can't tell you from personal experience. But that's what this guy told me, at any rate.
