Hi,
Let me tell you that I am not a History expert, but I am stalwart of those who study such subjects for I did neither have courage nor a mindset to study them. Since you have, feel honored!
Now talking about the prospects for you:-
Please Teach History: If you are interested in the subject and more than that, if you enjoy it, please reciprocate your love for the subject by teaching. I have never had a teacher who could make me like it and now when I get to read so much about the past, it seems like a huge loss. We need good teachers!
Research: Post this, you could always go for a PhD and get into research of ancient artifacts and sculptures. Or you could get into fossil study and all that. This is again a very interesting and boundless field.
Write: History gives you a countless account of wars and debacles. Use them and write fiction. Or you could always give accounts of specific people. I recently studied a book on Chanakya, and boy did I love it! There are innumerable people in the past and you could write about all of them.
Study other Subjects: What I think would help you the most is reading other subjects as well. Arts make you intellectually profuse, but to be able to relate it to the mundane scenarios, you do need an eye for a holistic image.
Change the frame: Since you know history better than a lot of people, tell them what actually happened. Or maybe another side of something that is a prevalent thought among people. For example, we know how Invaders came to India and spoiled everything. But, somehow I feel there were a lot of positives to that as well. You, my friend, are in a good position to point them out.

Hey.
I think more than the scope, the interest of an individual matter for success in a particular area of law. Let's say, for example, I am interested in Taxation Law but I I pursue criminal law after my law school. I would not be working with that zeal or enthusiasm as compared to taxation law. Therefore, according to me, the interest mattes more than the scope as you can make money under any area of law and practice.
But coming to the question, most of the areas of law are interlinked. Let's say, avoiding taxes or not disclosing proper income would be a criminal offense. So, apart from the knowledge of tax law, you would also need to know fundamentals of criminal law in order to help out your client. There are several law firms which specialize in either of these. So, if you are not looking for independent practice, you can join these. But the scope of criminal law is generally wider than tax law considering each area of law has some intersection with the criminal law in some form or the other.

There are large disparities in various sectors of the society. India has a very large number of NGS working in various field to overcome social challenges. Social workers help people solve social, financial, and health problems. With government regulation on Corporate Social Responsibility, there is a large number of career opportunities for MSW graduates. Social workers MSW graduates) take on jobs in broadly following three sectors. (a)NGOs I. e. Non-Governmental Organizations wherein they work in the fields of childcare, healthcare, women, literacy, environment and AIDS. (b)Multilateral organizations such as involved actively in fieldwork, policymaking, managing objectives on an international scale across countries. (c)In the corporate sector, as management involved in Corporate Social Responsibility where they get involved in welfare issues like water harvesting, schools and computer education in and around the company factories or campus.

As far as a foreign language in India is concerned, University of Delhi is proven to be the best so far. DU conducts various diplomas courses in foreign language in some of its colleges which has very high market value. Many foreign missions based in Delhi also run courses in their languages, which can be pursued part-time by aspirants. The certificates that you will get from DU is completely verified. Here, you will get the world class national/international faculties to teach you a specialized language. Here, some of the faculties also have great foreign experience in that particular field. So, getting admission in Delhi University for a foreign language should be your first option. But, if you are not eligible for Delhi University, you may consider Amity University, Noida campus as your second best option because the brand value of Amity University is increasing nowadays.
Best of Luck.

Although every branch of Psychology offers some sort of good career but still, people are showing more orientation towards Clinical Psychology. That is really a very huge subject and it turns your career onto the path of growth. I would prefer Clinical Psychology because of its utility in this modern stressful era. Clinical psychology takes general psychology a step further. While psychologists study the fundamentals of mental behaviors and processes, clinical psychologists apply these principles in real-world situations. They translate basic concepts into practical approaches that are used to diagnose and treat mental illnesses or disorders in patients. With this scale, now you can understand that how much this branch of Psychology is fruitful from your career growth prospects point of view. In India, clinical psychologist works in hospital, child clinics, physiotherapy center, and even major offices (for stress management). The applicability of this branch is almost everywhere. Hence there is nothing to worry if you want to pursue this specialization. Hope this helps.
Best of luck.

IT law is still a new field in India. It involves both civil and criminal aspects and the laws related to it are being shaped with each passing day. IT law is a good option if someone wants to grow with the growth in the field, which is mostly organic, tending to recent times when cyber space has expanded beyond comprehension (because of the accessibility to smart phones, armchair journalism on social media, etc. ). And its use needs to be regulated, if not completely controlled. That being said, environmental law, just like IT law, is the need of the hour. However, to excel is a field like environment law, one needs to be motivated by a deep sense of responsibility towards the environment if they actually do want to bring about a change, as the process is slow and tedious.

Nevertheless, all languages have their own utility and applicability but still, I would recommend you to follow 'Spanish Language'. Its syntax, grammar and even the words are similar to that of English. That's why, it is considered as the easiest language to learn. My suggestion is to look at the job market and see what jobs are out there that require more than just your native language/s and English. Then, decide which one fits what you have in mind. You might want to choose a language that is in the highest demand and pays the best by the businesses in your area. In India, Spanish, is in more demand because of its outsourcing. Many of the companies are setting up their operations in Spain, hence, they will need you. Many businesses like Travels & Tourist requires language translators who are very fluent in these languages so that they can translate those particular foreign languages into native language to facilitate the tourists. Spanish is the most widely speaking language throughout the world after English. Hence, it is in demand. Rest, depends upon your interest.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck.
