I've put out more resumes than I can count; with federal, state, and private museums and historical sites.
Still, I haven't been able to land so much as a tour-guide position. I've shifted my focus to landing government or civil service work because historical work is simply unrealistic in this economy. I can't speak for sociology or other liberal arts, but I would dissuade most anyone from working toward a history degree.
