At some point you have to ask yourself: What’s the point of studying ancient history?
Being able to name the first seven kings of Rome probably isn’t going to help you get a job, although it should.
And good luck trying to convince potential employers to hire you based on your history degree and zero relevant work experience. (Ask me how I know.)
So other than giving us something to think about while we’re stuck in traffic, why bother learning about Babylon, ancient Egypt or the Roman Empire?
