Answer by Christine
Well what was it you had in mind for a career when you chose a history major/ anthropology minor?
I would think being a part of Feed the children and Habitat for Humanity could get you into some sort of other field (along with your BA).
I would inflate that part of your resume and possibly cut back elsewhere.
