There is a reason why history majors are the butt of so many jokes.

He needs to switch to a major that will teach him something he can USE. He needs to leave school with skills and knowledge that will allow him to do things that others cannot, things that are of economic value.

If this is NOT what he is learning, then he should cut his losses and go learn to be a plumber or an A/C technician. He’ll make very good money and won’t have a mountain of student loan debt that he won’t be able to pay off because he can’t get a job that pays anything with the degree he earned.

History is a recreational degree. The people who pursue such programs leave school with nothing to show for it but debt. Worse yet, with the decayed and radioactive state that the humanities are in today, those same students are likely to leave school actually knowing LESS than when they arrived. It isn’t that they aren’t educated, but that so much of what they know simply isn’t true.
