I'm pretty good at history, especially military history, history is my favourite, so I'm putting most of my educational effort on history.
How hard is it to become an historian? Or any job that has to do with history?
>military history is my favorite
Why the fuck do you think you should teach people?

My professor says it depends on how you want to teach, but either way you'll have to be prepared to move.
Specialize in a specific area of history, find the teaching authority in that area, study/make friends with him, produce some original research that taps an area of modern interest to the world/scholarship/public in pursuit of your PhD, get hired by a college who wants to snatch up a hot commodity

Oh I don't want to teach.

You're kinda fucked then.
If you have friends in high places in the entertainment industry, you can try to become a historical "consultant". The pay is shit and no one will actually listen to you, but the work is piss easy.

No you have to be able to write and teach.
And be willing to put up with being an adjunct professor or equivalent for something like a decade on average for a shot at tenure.
A history education is mostly good for the transferable skills, from a purely cynical "what job can it get me?" perspective.
For actual history related jobs:
Teaching (secondary level) is a common endpoint for history graduates, as are obvious choices like museums, galleries etc. Although pickings are very slim in those areas simply due to the size of the industries, so teaching is the most viable if that sounds appealing.

You spend 10 years working a PhD then have to suck ALL the cocks at the AHA to get a no job security job teaching at a community college.
