I did both law and cultural history. While I've got a career in law now, I know I use the skills I gained from my cultural history classes every single day. Subjects like historiography may sound a lot like underwater basket weaving, but the skills in source criticism I gained from it are very useful in my job. And more importantly, while my law degree taught me practical skills, cultural history shaped my thinking and my analytic skills.
Some people on this forum heavily promote STEM subjects as the only way to get ahead in life. It's true that those subjects often lead to jobs, which is important, but the #1 skill you are supposed to gain at university has nothing to do with math but is gaining an academic mindset. In some fields, like engineering/ or law, a specific degree is important, but for most professional jobs, the academic mindset, the analytical and critical thinking skills are way more important than very specific factual knowledge.
