History is a demanding subject as students and employers know.
Students and employers also know which are the less demanding subjects, which means that a good grade in history carries weight with universities and employers. History teaches you to understand, explain and retain information. How many important jobs do not require these skills? Whether you are a soldier required to understand the cause of the conflict you find yourself in, a manager needing to persuade colleagues, or a lawyer needing to produce a convincing case, the study of history gives you the skills. These skills will not become redundant as technology changes, but will always assist you throughout your working life.
