I really enjoy history and would love to have a more scholarly career. However, it bothers me that a job history doesn’t really imply a shaping and changing of the future, while I would like to have a more meaningful effect in working towards positive change. What are your opinions on the relevance of history and how it can be meaningful? Are there are any careers you can think of that would combine history and activism? (I am also not so much interested in studying activism)

I know you can be a teacher, and work in a museum, but I want to be able to do more than that. Any careers out there that like to hire history majors and that pay well?
But I don’t want to be a teahcer can you get jobs like Human resource manager or Finnacial Planner or Paralegal, or Stock broker, or jobs in bussniess.

Is there any way I can find out my work history if I never filed for taxes?

Filling out a lot of job applications lately and everytime I get to the Previous Employers section I end up having to make up random dates.

In the event that I cant get my work history. Would I be better off just leaving the dates blank or stick with making them up?
