“If there were an Academy Awards for career charts, we'd bet on the chart Careers for Graduates in History. These charts are terrific. Nothing quite like them on the market.”
— Principal, Garrett Park Press,

“No business historian needs to be convinced of the positive contribution business history could make to management and particularly management education. The National Center for the Study of History recently developed a very interesting and informative wall chart that summarizes the possible links between history and business and the benefits history can offer the business community.”
— Business History Newsletter,
London School of Economics,

Comments by Students
“While in the Career Center at the University of South Florida recently, I saw your flowchart on the uses of a history degree. As a history major, I was overjoyed to see all the possibilities open to me.”

“Could you please send any information you have on careers in information management? I am a forty-four-year-old student looking for a field and saw your chart up at the University of Detroit. This sounds right up my alley!”

“Recently while visiting the University of Texas in Arlington I was in the Student Advisors Office and saw [your] chart on the wall. May I please get a copy of it? My girlfriend is majoring in history and is very interested in future career possibilities. She comes from a relatively non-academic background (she's the first in her family to go to college) and could use all the help she can get in the way of career guidance.”

“Please send me your history map outlining different careers in history. I saw your map at a work shop and was immediately fascinated.”

“My classmates and I are history majors at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. We are very interested in the chart you released entitled Careers for Graduates in History. Please send us a copy ... we all find it extremely fascinating and useful.”

“I am writing to commend you on your efforts in encouraging the study of history. Your poster Careers for Graduates in History is wonderful. I would love to have a copy so that when friends ask me why I am studying Modern European and Middle Eastern History at Harvard, I can point to your poster, saving myself from explaining to the multitudes of ignorant university people who bear no concept of what can be learned through the study of history all of the possible occupational paths ahead of me.”

“I would be extremely pleased if you could provide me with a copy of your career flow chart.... Having seen your chart, it has impressed me with the information concerning the options offered in all sectors of society that is open to someone with a degree in History. The material would not only be a benefit to myself, but also those of my friends who have expressed an interest in History as a major but cannot see a commercially viable aspect with it upon graduation.”

“I am a college student majoring in History. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to send me a copy of your chart.... I would find it helpful in fending off the multitude of doubters who smirk and shake their heads when I tell them I am a History major. Your help would be much appreciated.”

“I believe you published a poster entitled Value History! I am retired and auditing classes, mostly in history, at Skidmore College. I think this poster would serve well as a succinct answer to friends and family who ask me why a retired engineer, or anyone else, would want to study history.”

“Thank you so very much for the materials, they are just what I have been hoping to find! I am anxious to share the materials with my colleague, site administrator for the Oberlin Historical and Improvement Organization.”

“I am a student attending Jacksonville University majoring in Biology and minoring in both Chemistry and History. I noticed a couple of interesting posters put up by the department chair. I read one and was so impressed, I would like you to send me my own copy.”

“Could you please send me a copy of the placard entitled Careers for Graduates in History? I saw it on the history department's bulletin board here at Swathmore College. My younger sister is an avid reader of history, and I would like to give her a copy of your poster. Perhaps she will be enticed and decide to major in history when she goes to college!”

“Help! I am a student of History working in an unrelated field. Please send me a copy of your Careers for Graduates in History ASAP!!!”
