I am unable to choose between my 2 offers, MA M.History (Kings) or MSc Intl Security (Bristol).
I am leaning towards Kings, it having a better namebrand and a 50% passmark, but what can I do with an MA in Modern History, other then go to law school afterwards, which would be a massive financial burden on me.
Thanks,

14 views, no one can tell me one useful thing I can get out of this thing?
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
Intl security sounds better..
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
U can always be a history teacher..
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
Yes, but at Bristol the passmark is 60%! Also a detailed look at the sylabbus shows it’s boring material. I have opted out of going there, for these reasons.
This leaves me, at the moment, with a place at Kings for MA Modern History. I am in the process of applying for there MA Intelligence and Intl Security, but am awaiting a reference.
I pulled an earlier application for this course, as I could get the references sorted out. 
I hope to get a place, and take it. Failing this, I’ll start the MA History, and see if they’ll let me change course (what’s your take on that?), if not…probably drop out, and die…or work, whichever is easier.

legbreakgoogly,
How about something else than History or international security etc?
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
Like what yaar?
I am no good at, nor have a background in the sciences neither human or mathematical, and have no interest in much stuff. The only other thing that catches my fancy is a spot of Anthropology.
Advice?
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
How about Psychology? Politics? Law? or something similar. Can't u choose any of them?
Re: What Can I do with MA Modern History?
Well Politics is a close relative of Security Studies, as is IR.
As for Law, I'd have to do a conversion course, and then either an LPC or a BVC, so at least 2 more years of studying.
I am unsure if I would be able to shift to Psychology, that'd be neat.
Apparently Modern History is often a feeder into Journalism or some such work.

If all fails most history majors find it easy to say 'Would you like fries with that'?

I’ll specialize in South Asian history at the MA level if it comes to it.

How would I finance law school?
