What jobs can you get with an arts degree? basically an archaeologist (this guy's at the end of the list)
This is a usyd sales pitch. There r two schools of thought for y u should go to uni: one is for self exploration and the other is to get a job. Do not blend those two. The average arts grad makes way less than a commerce grad. So if u rly want to do an arts degree, double in something employable. But these examples r hand picked for a reason and not the average person.

yeah ik js a potential job example as an arts grad I saw (though yes, as you mentioned not the avg person so you'd probably have to be really lucky, genius, or have a lot of connections, but I was particularly pointing at the history one though I suppose that could potentially be hard too)

so what youre saying is, history degrees are worth more now than they were then
no shit was easier back then. a b arts was seen as a qualifier for most white collar work. these days u have to have a degree in your field. see how history majors have decreased in median earnings from 2010 to 2019 (albeit an american chart)

I think ANU has decent history -i think they have a degree where u have to go to a country in Europe and like dig up cool shit but that's probs a bit too ancient/archaeology for what u want
