paleontology. What should i major in? I am very interested in history. I would like to pursue something having to do with archeology and/or paleontology. What could I major in and what jobs are out there regarding these subjects?

You will need Biology courses, history courses, and anthropology courses.

Regarding the science of history, you will probably need a graduate degree for paleontology.

Why don't you just major in archeology? Some good schools offer it: Boston U, Brown U, Bryn Mawr, Cornell U, Haverford, NYU, UCLA, UPenn, Wash U St. Louis, Yale--some of the best colleges in the country.
Only a couple colleges offer paleontology as a major. The only really good one is U Michigan Ann Arbor.
You could major in one of these and minor in history also.
