got my degree back in 2004, and have been working as a substitute teacher for two years, but I need a real job so I can go back to school, any ideas?

I'm not sure what your whole situation is, but why not go back for a bachelor's in education part time? Try searching for jobs at your local colleges/universities as a Staff Assistant or something similar (which you would be qualified for), and it's pretty common that most colleges will let you go for free/at a discount there if you are an employee.

Driving a cab, flipping burgers or cleaning toilets. Go back to school and learn something that will pay. You already peaked out as a substitute teacher. In my life I've had two jobs that were high pay for the education required. Loading trucks for United Parcel, hard back breaking work from 10 pm to 2am+, good money while I was in college. I also worked for IRS collecting money from delinquent tax payers. I have several friends that work as 21(blackjack) dealers. Dealers make anywhere from $50 to $200 a day in tips. It doesn't take long to get trained, a month or two, but you must move to a state where gambling is legal. Check out the Occupational Outlook Handbook put out by the Federal Government. It gives an estimate of what jobs pay and how many of them exist. Other high pay for little education jobs that you probably know about are waiter, bartender, cab driver.

My sister has a PhD in Art History and she can't get jack! You may be able to get a job teaching History full-time at the middle school level but certainly no higher than that. Other career options are: Archivist in the public and private sector, museum guide, consultantant for historic restoration contractors, lobbyist, publishing research assistant, tourism bureau, national park assistant, editor/writer, researcher for historic preservation societies, insurance agent/broker, corporate historian, research/technical advisor for films, management consulting. From what I understand, history majors actually make more money when they go outside of their field. Put your resume out on Monster.com and see what happens.
