I really wanted to get a history degree. I’m glad I went with engineering instead.
I have a nephew in his mid-twenties. He worked his way up the ladder at a local bank. They eventually paid for him to get a business degree. Now he earns almost as much as I do. His integrity seems fine, and he is about the most pleasant young man you are likely to meet.
A real history geek would know enough about the human condition to avoid being such a prat. The social studies pablum they pass off in schools probably had our intrepid hero expecting a free ride. That is, until the “Real World” slapped him upside the head.
Have you looked at Dilbert lately?

Just jumping in here on the point of obtaining history degrees.
I had a friend who had always wanted to be in the military, a career officer. He took an ROTC scholarship and majored in history. He’s now a two-star general and has written several books about contemporary military topics.
Turned out he was very wise in what in had studied and how he had applied it to his life’s work.
