I'm closing my account after being on this site for longer than I can remember right now.

I would like to say thank you to all the columnists that I've met through this site, may your hearts of gold continue to shine through this site.

My reason is simple: I no longer feel I have a use for it anymore. I once was a person who couldn't help other people because of certain difficult situations in my past, but all that has now changed. This site allowed me to be who I really was and for that I'm so grateful for that. It played a very important role in my life and I'll never forget it!

The questions which I answered allowed me to reflect on my life and where it was going, and gave me the opportunity to really appreciate the life that I have, which I'm now living with open arms.

I wish you well for the future,
Triquetra....signing off for the last time.

I'm going to study History, Sociology, Art and Philosophy as my main subjects next year...
but I was wondering..what careers/jobs would involve these?
I really enjoy history(not in a nerdy way), but I don't know about Sociology and Philosophy yet:P
Any help?
Suggestions? (link)
Already, just looking at that list tells me that you've got a limited amount as to what you can do with those subjects.

Typing those into google came up with more or less one thing: teaching.

They're good subjects, but in the long run, you've not got a lot of options unless you teach what you learnt.

Personally, I think you need to re-think about these options and see which ones can get you a good job because I highly doubt that you want to go into teaching for the rest of your life.

Just out of curiosity, is this for A level? I ask because from what others tell me: history and philosophy are big essay subjects, not so sure about sociology but I'm sure there will be essays in that. Art...no idea but I'm guessing that studying/making/writing about sculptures will take up time as well.

I'm not trying to dissuade you, just show you that though the options may look good at first, they may not reap any benefit at all.

Talk to your teachers about your chosen subjects and see what they say.

I hope this helped,
triquetra

Thank you so much. It isn't my final decision, but I'm having a really hard time thinking about what I want to do in life.
It's the equivalent of A levels. It's called the Baccalauréat since I'm in a French based international school.

Your answer is very much appreciated though.
