Which area of study in History offers better career growth prospects?

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.

Now, students have no interest in dead present instead of living present. So, for a student who has chosen history as a career option, it is quite tough to decide a particular area where the scope is good. In history, there are two parts, one is the history of India and another is the history of outside India and as their names suggest one is about India and the other one is about outside India. I think studying the history of India is a better choice. India has also a wide history which is very useful. After studying this, you can go for UPSC exam or any state level civil exam as there are a lot of questions from this section. Also, one can go for SSC exam in which you get more benefits as there is one section of history and another is of general knowledge questions which also has questions from history. After doing a specialisation in Indian history, one can go for newspaper journal or one can become a historian for more development in history. Hope it helps!
