Who Would Hire a History Major?

What kinds of jobs do history majors get? This question has been going through my mind a lot lately. I'm starting to realise that getting an undergraduate degree in history is actually quite freeing when thinking about my future. I am currently reading John Lukacs' A Student’s Guide to the Study of History on what it really means to be a student of history. On the chapter which discusses the difference between primary and secondary sources (and how the lines seperating these are becoming blurred) he states that

A history major who does not go on to graduate school has lately become prized by intelligent employers, since they know that a history major is not some kind of apprentince archivist, but someone who knows how to read and write relatively well - and whose knowledge of some history gives him at least a modicum of understanding of the variety of human beings. History is, as I wrote earlier, the knowledge that human beings have of other human beings, a kind of knowledge more valuable and, yes, even more practical, than the knowledge human beings have of more primitive organisms and of things (31-2).

I am now convinced that I should buy The Modern Researcher by Jacques Barzun and Henry F. Graff along with The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. You could say that those are ideas for future gifts. ;) Let me know so that I don't get three copies of each.
