Social studies opens a door to a wide range of different job opportunities. This may include teaching (K-12, university), research (policy, market, intelligence), public service (probation, police, urban planning), and related fields like journalism, social work, and librarianship. With these many jobs it would be a great choice to choose social studies as a course. Many great historians devoted their life to social studies like Herodotus (Father of History) and analytical writers like Thucydides, to modern figures such as Edward Gibbon (Roman Empire), Ibn Khaldun (sociology/history), Leopold von Ranke (academic history), and influential 20th-century voices like Barbara Tuchman, E.P. Thompson, and Fernand Braudel.
This concludes that social studies could help you get many different jobs.
