Many history undergraduates choose to pursue further education in order to meet their career goals: thus future teachers would seek an education degree, or would-be archivists might seek entry into a Master of Archival Studies program. Still others might consider the law after completing a B.A. in history. However, it is not always necessary to pursue further study to get a job; graduates of history programs often find careers in research, writing, historical interpretation, or the human services fields. Trent University’s What Can I Do With My Studies in History is helpful: http://www.trentu.ca/careers/students/documents/History-complete.pdf The American Historical Association’s Careers for Students of History is available in on-line form here: http://www.historians.org/pubs/careers/ Not as comprehensive yet still informative, the Canadian Historical Association also has a page describing careers: http://www.historians.org/pubs/careers/
