I was wondering on the way to work this morning why there is so much more History in the media than Geography. Why is it that History campaigns get the front page and national news and Geography gets local news and page 5 within some sort of a gag (50% of remarks about Geography teachers in the Guardian are some sort of a joke).
Then I thought to check out graduate destinations.
Total number of Geography graduates 2005 - 2710. Percentage who work in the media, 2.5%.
Total number of History graduates in 2005 - 8410. Percentage who work in the media, 4%.

Does this speak for itself?
