So I switched to a subject I love, and hope I'll find a career in it.

If you love the subject so much, try it out, get an internship teaching it, and see if you actually like teaching it. IMO it's going to be difficult to find a 'good' job out of college w/ those two degrees w/out going into teaching.

Maybe you could volunteer for campaigns if you're interested in running for a public office. Those two degrees would be great for something like that.

Do you want fries with that?

I just finished school with a history degree and I'm in school again to get a MAT degree to teach, but that was by choice. Oh and while I'm teaching I plan to continue and get my PhD...so basically for me, history degree = school and lots of it. (not that I mind at all, but that's just me)

Well, my deal is, I don't WANT to actually do anything - I have no aspirations.

Practical question: If you aren't working towards a goal, why are you even bothering with school?

If the answer is simply to get your BA, then no worries. You'll get it. And you'll probably be qualified to do a lot of jobs. The stats come out every year saying 75% of all BA grads work in fields completely unrelated to their degree. Where do you think all the chicks that take sociology end up? The majority of them don't leave school unemployed, as a lot of b-school dudes will have you believe.

You can get into a lot of masters programs with a History degree, so if you're into that, consider it.

If not... Either [censored] or get off the pot. Quit and figure yourself out for a year or two, or just enjoy the ride.
