Sometimes, it can feel as though the job options within certain fields are limited. You might not be sure what options are out there. You may even end up choosing a different career path even though you\u2019re passionate about the subject.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To help with this and to show you some of the surprising job roles that you could do with specific qualifications, we\u2019ve written this article. In this ongoing series, we will explore different subjects you might study at school, and the roles that you could move towards by studying them. By going beyond the basic advice, you could discover some new options that you might want to pursue in your career!<\/p>\n

And our first topic is, *drum roll*\u2026 History!<\/p>\n

Job roles that may surprise you<\/h2>\n

The weird and wonderful places you could end up from studying history are truly surprising. We\u2019ve picked three roles you could do in the future within Greater Manchester.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”20px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Archivist<\/h3>\n

As an archivist, your role is all about managing information from the past. The role of an archivist is to find sources of information and then to preserve them.<\/p>\n

This information can come in a huge range of different formats. It could be books, posters, films or games. That video game you were obsessed with as a kid? Yes, that too will live in an archive one day, so that future generations can learn about us.<\/p>\n

There are two pathways to become an Archivist. First, there\u2019s the academic route. You\u2019ll need an undergraduate degree in History or something closely related. You\u2019d then go on to study Archives and Records Management at Postgraduate level.<\/p>\n

Other routes are level 7 apprenticeships. However, every program is different, and some may ask that you\u2019ve been to university first.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/gmacs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Archivist-1.jpg” alt=”A man looking at the books in an archive” title_text=”Archivist (1)” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/gmacs.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/curator-1.jpg” alt=”a curator cleaning a glass cabinet” title_text=”curator (1)” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Museum Curator or Exhibitions Officer<\/h3>\n

The purpose of this role is to organise and plan collections of artifacts to be exhibited. Curators are responsible for sourcing pieces for a collection and arrange how it will be shown. As part of their role, they might also lead talks or workshops to share their knowledge.<\/p>\n

There are three routes to this type of role. The first is going to university and studying history or relevant subject. Then, move on to do a postgraduate course in Museum and Gallery studies, or a topic you\u2019d like to specialise in.<\/p>\n

There are also Curator Apprenticeships. But like Archivist programs, each employer will have their own requirements. So, it\u2019s always worth reading the description carefully.<\/p>\n

The third option is by working up the career ladder. By starting out in lower-level roles, once you\u2019ve got enough experience, you could get promoted up to be a curator or exhibitions officer.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Archaeologist<\/h3>\n

The role of an archaeologist is to study artifacts from the past. Firstly, they carry out investigations, normally through something called excavations. They can spend months or even years on projects. Then it\u2019s time to dig a little deeper, to understand what those items can tell us about the people and the communities they\u2019re studying.<\/p>\n

You could pursue this path by studying Archaeology or something similar in university, before moving on to do a postgraduate qualification. Or you can do an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships in this field begin at level 3 and go all the way up to a level 7.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more\u2026<\/h2>\n

In addition to these career paths, there are a lot of other job roles out there that you could go into with a history qualification. Historians, Genealogists, Anthropologists, or Tour Guide roles are other options you could consider. Researching the roles thoroughly should help you decide if they\u2019re right for you.<\/p>\n
