The employment situation of history department has always been not optimistic, because studying history means learning the development history of Chinese and western countries. Studying this major in China is not very technical after graduation, so it is impossible to engage in research work, so it will be in a very embarrassing situation, especially for some students who can't get on, and it is even more difficult to find a job.

However, graduates from history departments and philosophy departments who graduated from prestigious schools have great advantages, because many countries are from liberal arts majors, so the majors of literature, history, philosophy and law seem to be popular majors for civil servants and have great appeal to students. However, whether to apply for this kind of major should be measured according to personal interests and career orientation.
