History.
It's alright if you like history. If you're bored by reading about things like the transitions to capitalism in early modern Europe, don't be a history major.

Obviously you don't have a lot of options immediately out of school. Get a teaching credential and teach or go to grad school or law school. Or get a job that has nothing to do with your major which of course is always an option.

Classes are ok. A lot of lecturing and listening, lots of video watching in the modern history classes. TONS of writing cuz that's all you do. Read and write. Read and write. If you don't like this and you prefer math (which you probly do as this is 2p2 and poker appeals to mathematically inclined people more than reading/writing people) or sciences and such don't be a history major.

I am graduating this winter and I did math and applied physics. If I could go back I would just do math. I am planning on going back to school in a year or two for math. I'd like to be a professor someday
