I want to pursue a career in History/Archaeology by going abroad
I want to pursue a career in History/Archaeology by going abroad. I am in Std XII and am planning to write the SAT in December (as the subject World History is only available in December and June). I want to know how to apply for a good scholarship as I come from a middle class family. Can I get a job in the U.S. after studying there? What is the scope for this field?
History graduates work in a wide variety of areas, e.g., business, law, politics, social service, and education. Knowledge of history is also an asset in journalism. Newspapers and journals often give assignments to historians for the preparation of background material to enlighten the public on the historical importance of an event. History is a very popular choice for various competitive examinations at state and central level, like civil services. If you continue to study history and go for an advanced degree, you will be qualified for jobs in teaching, research or as an archivist.
Studying in the U.S. can be quite expensive without financial aid or scholarships. But many colleges do offer some sort of aid to help students from overseas pay for college. You can visit these sites for resources on financial aid, college scholarship and other information related to studying in US.
