The employment situation in history is very grim. One of the key points is that the employment area is extremely narrow. Many people choose to be teachers or take the civil service exam, but the competition for this is also fierce. At present, university teachers require at least a doctorate, and the possibility of getting a master's degree is very small. If you enter middle school, most history students have a clear view on this direction and the competition is fierce. Needless to say, it is normal for hundreds of people to compete for a position.

But you got a master's degree in Fudan history. Where is the brand, there must be an advantage in employment, but if the overall employment is not good, it is hard to say. Sometimes people don't want people with such high academic qualifications to work, so they are helpless.

Whether you take the exam or not depends on how much you like it. If you really like it and don't want to give up, take the exam, so that you can find a job that suits you even if it is difficult to find a job.
