I’ve always been into history and ancient wars and I would really like to find a job that would allow me to follow that.

Hello Bobo,
Are you asking about a job in the military services? Or, a civilian job?
If you like history and can write the Air Force has a job that is called being a Historian.
You need to score a 72 in General on the ASVAB. Technical school is 20 days at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. BUT, you can not enlist directly for this field. You have to be in another field and qualified and then apply to be an Historian. Usually you have to be in the service over 4 years because you have to submit 4 – 5 personal evaluation reports and these are usually annual reports.
If you want this field later on after you reenlist then become an administrative clerk because you have to be able to type as well as other qualifications. And, usually administrative clerks have evening free so you can attend college classes. Major in History and or World History.

Civilian life? Go to college and become a college professor with a Ph.D. and teach history. Then, you can study military history and write books on it.
Best wishes.
