I was just thinking of professions that some of my fellow classmates got into after graduation. Just to run down a short list of possibilities here, I can say that the C.I.A. hires historians for analysts a lot. Local or national museums obviously. Historical preservation is another biggie. Let's see, what else? oh, libraries, archives, teaching, National Park Service, National Geographic, Time magazine, etc. There are a lot of possibilities, you just have to know someone.
