How much are your skills worth in the labor market? Young historians research how people sell their skills to an employer for a certain price, just like a good or product. They discuss what exactly helps someone market themselves to convince a company to invest in their services. In the end, they come to understand that people do indeed sell themselves in the marketplace!
