School, Youth, and Adult Education; Political Education
Those who study history learn how to educate themselves. This acquired knowledge is processed in such a manner that it can be passed on. Since the content of history often belongs to the educational canon, graduates are welcome in school, youth, and adult education (“teacher,” “lecturer,” “speaker”). The more the topics at hand still affect us today (contemporary history), the easier it is to access political education. There are internships and trainee programs and additional qualifications with an educational background (methodology and didactics) can be very helpful.
