Hello, I have been accepted to the class of 2028 and will be attending USNA this summer. As I have secured my appointment, I have started to wonder more about the specifics behind different majors and jobs post-USNA. USNA commissions officers relatively straightforward with very clear career progression. I was hoping to get some career advice relating to me after I commission and for my major selection that happens at the end of plebe year: I am interested in history, first generation, and I speak another language at home. I read a lot of military history, public policy, classic literature, and about different cultures. I want to know about what kinds of jobs I can leverage after going to USNA with these interests in mind, I want to make the most out of going to USNA and not waste any opportunities available. I am terrified of the stereotypical history major who cannot get a job that isn't a librarian even after service.
I would say the worst-case scenario for me is that I go to USNA, serve time, and then do not have a job that I can fall back on using my degree. I really like the idea of being a pilot or Marine officer...
Please let me know what I can do to combine these interests that can also make me employable, and how USNA can help...
