I absolutely love history, but my parents don't want me to pursue it in college
I'm 16 and soon to go into college, and I'm still unsure of what to do.
I would like to pursue a career in history, but my parents tell me to be realistic.
I don't blame them- most history related jobs lead into teaching (which I don't want to do).
A few of their friends decided to do history in college as well, and they ended up working in retail supermarkets.
I've chosen to do a science course, and my parents agree with that, but I'm scared I will regret it.
I have no passion for science and I truly love history and would love to find a career in anthropology, but I need to be realistic.
I don't want to regret having a job I hate but I also don't want to regret spending thousands of pounds in university only for there to be no jobs in history.
What should I do?
