Thank you all for the thoughtful replies. They help a lot. Some of you asked why I choose to pursue a CS master. Frankly speaking, I did this purely for the fast-growing job market and high salaries of CS related careers. Before attending the graduate school, I thought I could overcome the pain of studying CS and forget about history. But after spending one year on coding, I just found it is not that easy to wipe my interest of history and sociology. So I am kind of in a dilemma right now. I have already spent a lot of time & money on this CS program. Meanwhile, I assume it may be harder for me to apply for history PhD/Masters as a CS graduate. I think staying at my current program for now and looking for potential opportunities after graduation may be a feasible solution. However, is it possible for me to work for a few years and then do the applications? My undergraduate and graduate school have costed my parents nearly half millions of dollars and I don't want to ask for their money after graduation.

Hi, I am new to this site so please correct me if I am doing anything wrong. I just graduated from a top 50 university last year and got into a master program immediately after graduation. My undergraduate majors are history and sociology. But the funny thing is I am studying computer science in graduate school. But after one year's study I found CS is not as fascinating and marketable as I expected before. So I am considering to come back to my original interest: history. So the question is: is it possible for persons with similar background to get a funded MA/PhD offer in history / sociology? If I decide to re-enter the field of history, should I directly apply for PhD? Finally, is there any interdisciplinary program which can let me take advantage of my CS experience? Any advises & comments are truly appreciated. P.S. I still have a valid GRE score and could probably get a few reference letters from my undergraduate professors.
