History : What Can I Do With A Major In...
An understanding of the historical background of our times is expected of the educated person. History creates connections between nations, cultures, and economic realities and encourages one to examine events using careful analysis The Department of History makes it possible for students to gain this understanding through a wide range and variety of courses at all levels, from introductory through graduate. A history major has traditionally served as a foundation for careers in such professions as teaching, law, communication, social work, and business administration. In recent years, undergraduates have frequently augmented studies in history with computer science, foreign language, or business administration. These combinations have proven attractive in business and government service careers. The Social Studies Teacher Education program leads to certification to teach social studies in the secondary schools.
So now you're a teacher... - ProfHacker - The Chronicle of Higher Education
I recently participated in Emory’s teacher training program , which is intended for all of the Graduate School’s students immediately before they begin teaching for the first time. One of the mini courses that I taught several times over the three days that the program runs was titled “What I wish I’d known.” The idea was that two current graduate students and myself (as a fairly recent graduate who had continued teaching at the school) would share insights that we had gained in the process of teaching and hopefully spare others from learning the same lessons the hard way. Teaching is a difficult thing to talk about before you’re actively engaged in it. That means it’s doubly difficult to take advice from someone you don’t know before you’re doing it. Nevertheless, here’s some of what I told them:
With an ambulance gurney cradling his defeated body, Raohl Hursh sought peace with his past inside the frenzied emergency room of the UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest. It was his 29th visit in four years, his 12th in a month, his second in four hours. "I've already tried to kill myself,” the former serviceman with a history of mental illness said, vodka-addled and occupying a room where a beehive of doctors and nurses would soon hover over a heart attack patient. “I’ve killed others. ...

Rebecca Lynn Suter, University of Louisville On August 25, 2003, I began a new chapter in my life. I started a new position with the Undergraduate Studies Advising office at the University of Louisville. The Undergraduate Studies Advising unit was developed to help students who have yet to declare their major. In the first few months on the job, I realized that I had no idea what it meant to be an undecided student. Initially, I thought that these students were being lazy in not making the most important decision of their lives, but I now realize that I was completely wrong in this assumption.

The Mentor: An Academic Advising Journal
Kelly Stark, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign What do you want to be when you grow up? For most of us, this question was easily answered when we were young. By the time we reached college, however, the question had become much more difficult to answer. Today, an estimated 20 to 50 percent of college students are undecided about their educational and vocational futures (Lewallen, 1995). Because of the high percentage of undecided students, academic advisers are often faced with deciding how to best meet these students' needs.
Shays' Rebellion - Printed Material: Massachusetts Disqualification Act, February 16, 1787
The Disqualification Act was passed by the House and Senate of Massachusetts on February 16, 1787. It sets forth conditions for granting pardons to the men who participated in Shays' Rebellion as privates or non-commissioned officers. The men were required to turn in their guns and take an oath of allegiance delivered by a Justice of the Peace. The Justice of the Peace was then required to relay the men's names to the clerks of their towns.Governor Bowdoin issued this strongly worded proclamation after hundreds of Regulators prevented the Court of Common Pleas from opening in Northampton on August 29, 1786. Bowdoin said the Regulators acted in contempt and open defiance of the government. The proclamation expressed the concern that their actions would lead to riots, anarchy and the downfall of the government. Governor Bowdoin strongly urged the people of the Commonwealth to help prevent and suppress "all such treasonable proceedings" so that the freedom and independence that was won in the recent Revolution would be preserved. Samuel Adams was an influential adviser to Governor Bowdoin; the harsh tone of this proclamation reflected his belief that "in monarchies the crime of treason and rebellion may admit of being pardoned or lightly punished, but the man who dares rebel against the laws of a republic ought to suffer death."

The demography of England has since 1801 been measured by the decennial national census , and is marked by centuries of population growth and urbanisation . Due to the lack of authoritative contemporary sources, estimates of the population of England for dates prior to the first census in 1801 vary considerably. 1801 - 8,308,000 at the time of the first census . Census officials estimated at the time that there had been an increase of 77% in the preceding 100 years. In each county women were in the majority. [ 5 ] Wrigley and Schofield estimate 8,664,000 based on birth and death records. [ 4 ] ^ "National Statistics Online - Live births" .

William Manning, "A Laborer," Explains Shays Rebellion in Massachusetts: "In as Plain a Manner as I Am Capable"
The end of the War of Independence in 1783 curtailed wartime loss of life and destruction of property. However, peace also brought economic distress through cycles of depression and glut. These cycles were exacerbated when Massachusetts authorities pursued strict policies on money and debt and British creditors called in their debts during the post-Revolutionary depression. When merchants turned to already pressured farmers and rural traders who had no cash to pay their debts or taxes, courts and jails filled with debtors.writing in history
