Oh it wasn't that much, just had lunch and went to a number theory lecture

I guess it would be better with more people

Greggler:
Hey guys just got a couple of questions relating to the PhB i was wondering if any of you could possibly answer for me...

My main query is really, what kind of career or job can you get with a PhB(Arts) degree. I love history and to a certain degree am very interested in philosophy and was wondering, say if i were to do a PhB and major in history or something what can i then do with that? Or is their even the opportunity to travel overseas and pursue a higher level degree?

Also i was wondering what would be the difference if i were to just do any Arts course and major in history compared to if i did a PhB of arts at ANU?

Thanks in advance :)

I guess the most obvious career is as an academic or researcher, which you would need a higher degree for (and a first class honours degree at ANU is looked upon well, even internationally if you're interested in going overseas for a PhD). Other than that, public service and policy, jounralism and also things like information management.

It depends, if you want to use the stuff you learn, then definitely academia is a good idea (and potentially, things like museum curatorship and research stuff would be good with a history major). If you aren't set on using what you learned, then there are loads of career options.

Greggler:
Thanks Eriny.
I'd certainly love to travel with any career path that i go down, and its good to see that i could possibly still do that.
However what does a career as an academic and researcher really entail?

Thanks again

EvangelionZeta:
Better question - realistically, how hard is it actually to be an academic/researcher and not live off peanuts?
