Greetings /his/. What is it that you really do? Professionaly speaking. How does reading history makes synergy with your job or daily life? Are they completely unrelated?
I just graduated from school. I've been looking for jobs for 2 weeks now. Im a financial administrator. Sometimes when I'm reading history I think to myself that if it would be a better idea to read things related to my line of studies. But I really enjoy reading history, philosophy and religions among other things that are completely unrelated to finance. I don't want to be a person who can only talk about his job and none other interesting subjects, i know a lot of people like that, they seem pretty boring to me.
Have you struggled with this? Tell me about your own experiences. I would like to know

Study the Italian merchant republics, plus the effect trade and economics had on history and religion, plus vice versa.

I don't consider things valuable solely in terms of whether they relate to my profession (or even me being interesting as a person). So no, I don't really have any dilemma in that regard.

Me neither thats why I do it. Sometimes I think I might be wasting time but then I realize Its an eye opener in every way. But when Im in a job interview and make a little emphasis on my joy of reading, I know they think to themselves, "and why is this valuable to me?". So it brings a little down.

I'm an attorney. About the only history reading that I do that affects me professionally is looking at legal history and caselaw, which isn't what I'd consider real history.
The sort of history I read as personal entertainment and to further my personal knowledge doesn't really have a lot of professional applicability.
