How much money do you earn?

So, this question is a long-standing one, but I'm wondering how much money you can actually earn with a doctorate (history). It feels like I'm just getting a barrage of rejections, and even though it's not about the money, I'm still surprised that nobody's interested in me, given the current labor shortage. I've had everything from €700 net to €1,500 net for full-time work (no joke). I'm not really getting the hang of it.

This is called market economy = law of supply and demand.

In extreme cases, this doctorate doesn’t help you, and you have to clean up goods at the supermarket or run packages for Amazon.

Then maybe in schools with a corresponding degree on apprenticeship or as a cross-editor?

Well, the shortage of skilled workers is not everywhere. In such “brotlose” humanities, more graduates than specialist jobs have been created.

1500 Net is logical for a job that is completely independent of your academic career. as a taxi driver it doesn’t matter if I’m Dr. in Philosphie or not. the work performance remains the same.

Hello, the salary and job prospects are based on the needs of the economy. The wage correlates with the economic performance that creates your job for a company. The degree itself is not paid, but it can be an access requirement for certain professions.

I am surprised that with all the shortage of the worker no sow is interested in one.

Professionals are not missing in all areas. There are mainly persons in the high technology sector, care, crafts, medical sector and some service sectors. With a mint degree, the job prospects look different in the current economic situation.

History is, unfortunately, a subject that has no economic significance and therefore there are few specific professions. This would naturally include the work in science itself, e.g. at university, research etc. of the journalistic area or departments in museums etc. I can’t say what the need looks like. As an alternative, of course, all occupations that either do not need specific training or as cross-enterers are eligible. But then it comes to your other skills and what you might experience. But you certainly haven’t studied for such jobs.
