Most work full-time and often work outside in a field to observe artifacts or visit specific areas or conduct interviews.

What Can I Do with A Degree in History?
|No matter how intriguing your high school history classes
have been, we can guarantee that history courses in college will
be a lot more thrilling. History is simply interesting. We're not
saying other majors are boring, but history deals with actual
people and factual events. Everything has a history - nations,
wars, ethnic groups, sexuality, jazz, gambling, postage stamps,
you name it. On a broader scale, knowledge of history is important. As the philosopher George Santayana observed, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. If anything holds the key to understanding warfare, famine, and social crises, it's the analysis and understanding of history. It's not a recitation of facts. It's the sum total of the human experience - a dramatic, never-ending, entirely uncensored adventure."
