But history also teaches you to use so many different skills鈥攚riting, argumentation, and the ability to find and provide evidence to support your thesis. It instills valuable critical analytical skills, and all of those skills鈥攖he ability to read, interpret, communicate, deliver a message鈥攁re transferable to basically any line of work.鈥�
