Unit 7

As someone who is not a history major, I wouldn’t say that I was surprised by the range of the careers that history majors attain. The reason for this being the variety of transferable skills that an average history major seems to develop throughout their course of study, notably, communications, reading, writing and analytical skills. I am a business major here at CNM and in the unit video “What Can I Do with a History Major?” there was an individual that became a business analyst. This to me was particularly interesting as it is a career path that I have seriously considered work towards. He attributed his success in this area to his analytical as well as his critical reading and writing skills and I feel I should work towards strengthening those skills as well.
