Why become a teacher? Most social studies students do not intend to be professional historians, but rather to gain employment in the teaching profession and various other related fields. Students use their knowledge, skills, and communication abilities as a stepping-stone to a variety of careers. This is especially true in business, government, journalism, law, and public education. Others range from research positions in business and public agencies, to archival, curatorial, and social work. Thus there are very few careers for which social studies does not provide essential preparation.
