#12 makes me sad. Failure to pursue knowledge in this field makes one a slave to those who present "the" history (as they have no basis of knowledge to question/verify).
I love history, but college history classes were nothing short of a survey of liberal revisionism. Even if you disagree with that, 3-4 history classes are still required for general ed purposes.
As far as being a "good degree to get into grad school", I think those are generally piss poor degrees for grad school, other than an easy route to a high GPA. The business grads that went to law school have a much higher success rate than poli sci/history/etc. as they have an extra set of useful skills, as opposed to a journalism undergraduate who knows how to write and has a law degree.

Link? This would surprise me. Knowing how to write is probably the single most useful skill to have in law school. The big problem with LSU business majors is that they really never do require you to do long-form writing. As a lawyer, writing is 80% of what you do on a day-to-day basis. (The other 20% is kissing your clients' arse).
