    Is it any use? Would just having the degree alone be good to get a wide choice of jobs.

    Its will be interesting if you already love history.

    You more than likely wont be in a good job when you finish unless you go on to do a phd and want to be a lecturer

    most arts degrees are non specific, you get your degree- acquire a broad range of skills and tick the box on the application form where it asks you if you have a degree.. unless you are going to specialise workwise or further your study they're not going to be of much use- your degree won't get you your job, you will have to...
    If you think you'll sit on that course and halfway thru say to yourself "I won't get a job out of this" then avoid it..do law or sociology. on the otherhand if ancient civilisations, how they lived, what they did...interests you then by all means go for it!. the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there
