Well, this took off! A lot of folks have questions about the data. I do to! But I also know that History desperately need a win right now, so let's take it. The data doesn't say what these alums do, but a safe conclusion here is that History majors are broadly employable.

Still flabbergasted by this data released about earnings of @CUBoulder alums. Take a look-see at that there top line. Feel free to share this with the next troll who asks you what you can do with a degree in History.

After seeing the actor François-Joseph Talma play Julius Caesar on the stage, Napoleon corrected him: "Emperors aren't like that. You use your arms too much: men in power are more restrained in their movements; they know that a gesture is an order, a look is death."
