Marion Said:

What is better for jobs, history or spanish degree?

We Answered:

Definitely a spanish degree would be much more beneficial. Unless you want to teach history, I wouldn't waste my time getting a degree in that. Employers are always looking for people with spanish speaking skills.

Librarian, government analyst, insurance claims adjuster, spy for the CIA, McDonald's cashier, WalMart greeter, politics (either behind the scenes or as a representative), news archivist for a local TV station or newspaper, reporter in front of the camera, Human Resources, etc.

Don't limit yourself. Some employers are just looking for a college graduate, but you can insert history into almost any job; you just have to make the employer see the connection.
