In Euroland History is popular amongst people going into all of those fields.

My best friend is a high level corporate lawyer and he got his B.A in History before doing anything else. It's useful, that's all there is to it. It's like anything - it's what you do with it that counts.

Obviously if you do African History or something stupid it's of no massive use unless you directly into that but the opportunities to learn languages and all that is cool too.

My wife's brother got a M.Sc in Nucelar Engineering from ICL and he barely makes £23k a year, working 40+ hours a week. Meanwhile she works a few hours a week drawing (she's an interior designer) and makes 1.5 times that. I'm in corporate law and I make a fair bit more than both of them.
