Museum curator, costumer, hmmm....archeologist, cultural anthropologist.





In reality, what you major in during college has an impact on your first job..but not much of an impact on your overall career choices. Having a degree is huge, which major is not so important with the exception of teaching and majors that lead to specific professions (like medical school).





I started out in clothing design and business, and ended up with elecrical engineering and most of a business degree.





I write for a living, and have also been a financial planner and a website designer. In other words, my majors have been nearly irrelevant.





I still get a kick out of being a semi-famous (at least within my own realm) writer, when I never took a college level English course!





Anyhow...study something now you genuinely enjoy. You won't likely regret it and you're only young once.





In the end there are so many options out there that you probably never thought of, that you may thoroughly enjoy.





Also keep in mind the world keeps changing. Many popular professions these days, did not exist 20 years ago; I am certain the future holds many other surprises and changes.





Study what you love now. While you can. The career will follow.
Reply:I would suggest restoration of ancient medieval documents (curator) or work at a museum where people travel and collects medieval era items.The best source go to the library and ask the librarian your interest in that field and what are her/his recommendations in the subject.
Reply:Obviously a professor





Historians work at big libraries, with archaeologists, and write books.
Reply:you could write books, be an anthropologist, or make history documentaries.
Reply:Museum curator, archaeologist, conservator, even steward of historical sites. Not every job involving history requires one to teach.
