I haven't done much professionally with Physics; it also became a hobby of mine, especially astro-physics. For a couple of financial companies I worked for, they demanded proof of a college degree, and I had to present the original diploma. So I guess my non-finance degree still saw some use.
Having said that, there is a small cult in the financial space that believes some physical principles are intertwined with the laws of the stock market, and tries to use those principles to forecast financial market events...
They are no longer history teachers they are indoctrination trainers
I imagine you know this because you are in academia yourself or you study trends in academia as part of a socio-cultural analysis for a think tank.
Either that or you just passively let ultra-right-wing propaganda, projected at a 4th grade vocabulary level, wash over you like a neverending tide. But that would be so pathetically ironic that I'll give you the benfit of the doubt.
1. Career choice for history study seems narrower than other subject studies. Basically teach, or write books.
2. Salary outlook seems mediocre from what I remember.
3. Off the top of my head I don't even know what credentials should be built for college application to this major. For science one can build stuff; for math there are a lot of competitions. What for history?

I never thought I would see the day when a parent would be concerned about a student's interest in history.

I know, right? My parents would have been over the moon because I was obsessed with music and took every music class there was in high school. I got all A's in them and barely passed everything else because I didn't care about those subjects.

What have we come to? Same with my parents, and their parents. Same with me.
There is almost nothing more venerable than the study of history.
