What can you do with a P.H.D. In history?

I know you can probably teach. I love history! I get crap from students telling me it’s not very profitable to be a scholar, but I’m determined, can you tell me some doors that might open up with a phd in history? Or things you can do with it? Thanks.

Apart from doing things directly related with history (teaching, research, museum curator, author of books about history, consultant/writer for documentaries), there are still a few good options. A lot of business consulting firms like to hire PhDs in any subject, because they know that people with PhDs are trained to collect a lot of information and figure out what’s relevant.
