A FRESHMAN WITH A HISTORY DEGREE IS LOOKING FOR CAREER OPTIONS

#engagementstory

By MAX LEISTEN

Building relationships with professionals and alumni in history can open up new career possibilities. Engaging with individuals who have turned a history degree into diverse career paths can offer valuable insights when your direction is still uncertain.

These connections help students uncover lesser-known opportunities, refine their career goals, and learn how to present their skills effectively. Tapping into the Florida State network can be a crucial step in navigating the many potential paths a history major can take.

Keep it simple!

The "ask"

Hi! I am a freshman (academic sophomore) pre-history major student at Florida State. I currently have no minor, but I hope to minor in British Studies while studying abroad at some point!

I am an active member of Alpha Gamma Delta sorority where I am involved on a variety of committees/teams and hope to join more clubs at FSU with time.

I initially entered Florida State exploratory and eventually decided to major in History because it is a broad subject that I am interested in, passionate about, and find rewarding. However, I have no idea what I want to do as a career with this degree. I am not particularly interested in becoming a teacher or going to law school and feel as though I haven’t had much exposure to other professions that I would fit under and be able to pursue.

I am very open to hearing any and all options/ideas even if they involve teaching or law!

Thank you!

The "give" (1 of 3)

Hi! I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently a first year student in the Museum and Cultural Heritage Studies Graduate Program here at FSU. I definitely relate to your experience, and would be happy to talk more about it and give advice if you would ever like to meet up in person, zoom or call on the phone!

You’re more than welcome to also email me.

I hope you have a good day!
