Finding a Job, Exploring Your Calling
Preparing for a fulfilling job should begin early during your college years. Chat with speakers who come to campus, pursue summer internships, and talk with faculty. Register with the Career Services office and take advantage of the resources and networks they offer.
Jobs Outside Academia
A good place to start your investigation of careers is to read excerpts from Careers for Students of History, a publication of the American Historical Association.
This site features a brief list of career opportunities available to college graduates with degrees in history.
A range of other resources listing job opportunities outside the academy are available online:
Teaching History
Have you considered teaching history in secondary schools? It's never too late to get certified, and earn an advanced degree in the process. The Wheaton College Graduate School offers a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree that is "designed to prepare educators to integrate faith and learning through graduate level experiences from a Christian perspective. The program is designed to enable educators to become producers as well as consumers of classroom research through internship and induction year experiences. It also provides opportunity for greater depth in one's discipline [history]. These combined elements unite theory and practice to create Christian educators who are equipped for tomorrow's classrooms." (MAT Program website)
