Textbook Authorship

  • Step 1:
    College and high school scholastic texts are frequently written by historians working as educators. Texts written for middle school and elementary students are written by publishing staff or freelance writers with college coursework in both history and educational methods.

Research

  • Step 1:
    Social scientists, with education study, are also employed as research assistants in government, schools of higher education and consulting services, according to the BLS. The U.S. Labor Department estimates that nearly 7,000 people were employed in this field in 2007.

Historic Preservation

  • Step 1:
    Social science work in consulting or historical preservation also uses experts with joint study in history and education, according to the BLS.

National Parks and Landmarks

    The BLS states that over 41 percent of social scientists are employed by local, state and the federal governments. A small number work as interpreters and educators in parks and at museums associated with historic sites.

Teaching

  • Step 1:
    Social science majors with education course work typically are hired in teaching jobs at the high school and post-secondary levels. According to the BLS, "graduates in history are more likely to teach than are graduates in most other social science fields."
