Yes. You could consider going to law school, business school or even medical school, in addition to grad school in history or other humanities and social sciences. In fact, according to US News and World Report 2004 or 2005 college rankings, history majors have a higher acceptance rate into med school than biology majors.

Well, my freshman year of college I was an insturmental perfromance major in a music conservatory because they gave me a good scholarship. It was the wrong reason to go school, and I hated it. I ended up transferring (which is a horrible process) and I'm now a history major, which I love. When I decided to choose my major, I decided on something I was very interested in (history) and that required skills I have... reading, writing, research, etc. Making lists might help you- but chances are you know what you're good at. \n\nIf you are really undecided about what to major in, as in you don't even know what interests you, take curriculum made of up of general education credits- all liberal arts schools require a certain amount of "gen-ed" credit, and it allows you to take a wide variety of classes on different topics. You might find something that really interests you, and then you can look into futher pursuing it. Don't feel pressured to choose a major right away. Most people end up changing theirs at least once during college, if not more.\n\nIf you DO have an idea of what you might like to do, take a few entry level classes in that topic and see if it's still something you're into. Ask yourself "Can I handle the level of math/english/science I will need for this major? Am I interested in devoting the amount of time necessary in these areas to be successful, or would I rather spend my time on other interests?" \n\nIt is also useful to have a plan of what you might like to do after school. Do you want to go to grad school and continue your education? Do you want a job right out of school? This plan doesn't have to be hugely detailed, but it is good to have an ultimate goal as to what you want to do with your education. \n\nI hope that was helpful. I remember what a stressful time it was applying to schools as  senior. It sounds like you already have a good start by listing things, but don't feel like you have to be locked into one major for the entire duration of college.

Let me give you a couple of ideas that would impress me if I were looking at your grad school application.  I'm not assuming you necessarily want to go to grad school; these same things would impress a future employer, and give you something interesting to do in the immediate present.\n\nFor journalism:\nStart your own campus newspaper, magazine, or blog.\n\nFor history:\nGet an internship in a museum or at an historical site, or at an archive, or do some archeological fieldwork.  Start a website that deals with a particular historical era, or explores alternative histories (those what-if scenarios, like "what if Carter had gotten the hostages out of Iran?" or "what if the North lost the Civil War?") or historical mysteries or controversies (Lindbergh baby, Kennewick man, etc.).   (I'm aware my examples are drawn solely from US history, but you gave no indication of your own historical interests.)\n\nAnyway, those are a couple of thoughts.

You are very lucky to have such broad interests. They will help you enjoy your studies no matter what your major is. The best way I know to choose a major is start taking classes. No matter what major you choose or what college you attend you will need to take general education classes. You will need maths, science, social sciences, history, English, probably a foreign language, etc. Once you start taking these introductory courses you will learn more about that field of study. If something appeals to you take an upper level course in that subject. Also visit your college's career center. They will have assessments that you can take to help you discover what careers are best suited for your interests. They should also have resources there that will allow you to see what careers are expected to have openings and what to expect. Finally, volunteer and/or do an internship. The best way to learn about a career is to try it out. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience, meet people in the field, and find out what you are good at. Good luck to you.

Unless you plan on going into management or research, it is probably not worth it IN YOUR FIELD.  I'm a historian; it's a prerequisite for advancing in mine.

It depends on how you are defining useless. I majored in philosophy. Now from a perspective of getting paid to be a philosopher (besides teaching it) you could call it useless. However, if you look at the skills acquired from the major it has been invaluable. The ability to formulate logical arguments, attack another's position, critically analyze ideas, etc. comes up daily both professionally and in my personal life. A history major develops the ability to efficiently do research (doesn't have to be limited to history could be used for anything). A English major learns how to communicate effectively through written word. All majors have underlying skills that will be useful in life. Most people miss out on this and solely focus on getting an 'A' on their paper rather than learning the skills that will result in the 'A'. \n\nSo in a way it doesn't matter what major you choose unless you want to be something specific like a doctor or engineer. But just because there are no direct jobs related to the major does not mean that the major is usless.

Loved history classes.  Actually got better grades in them than I did in the "easier" classes.

A good economics class can be very useful for you in the future.  I wouldn't skip it.  But a major?  It depends on where your interests lie. Do you have to pick a major right now? Maybe just select something general for now until you find something that really turns you on for a major.

There are lots of great museum jobs.  It really depends on what sort of museum you'd like to work in.  A natural history museum?  An art museum?  A museum of science and technology? A cultural or historical museum?\n\nFolks who work at natural history museums often majored in some sort of science, like biology, zoology, or archaeology.  Folks who work in art museums almost always majored in art history.  Folks who work in museums of science and technology often majored in engineering, computer science, or history.  Folks who work in cultural or historical museums usually majored in anthropology, religious studies, or history.\n\nThere are also programs in curatorial studies (or museum studies) for people who want to work their way up to the highest positions in a museum (curator or director) but these programs are usually graduate programs. \n\nI hope this helps!

I've got an International Studies focusing on Europe BA as well. Most people start with internship experience, particularly if you want to work on the Hill. Depending on your political affiliations there are many organizations that help with job placement and have tons of listings, including politics, PR, and research. If you want more information on Democrat-related job listings, try Democratic Gain or Campaign Corps. I don't know the resources for Republican ones, but I'm sure similar ones exist.
