Having graduated with a History degree and Sociology minor 7 years ago, I've never had my degree be anything other then something my employer was happy I had. In those 7 years I've been Sales Support, Coordinator of Customer Service and a Financial Analyst nothing at all to do with history. If nothing else a degree proves that you can deal with 4 years of bullshit; something other people have failed to do.
You're going to need to go to graduate school to do anything terribly interesting in the field of history; i.e. teach at the college level or be a museum curator.
