I used mine to teach, but found that kids in general hate it, think it is boring, and believe it should be removed from the curriculum. So, after my own children are older, and I return to the working world, I will go to law school and probably prosecute the kids I taught. Or, I will get my PhD and teach older kids who need my class in order to graduate.

Get your Master's Degree, then a PhD so you can teach History at the University Level or work in a Museum. There some really great museum jobs out there, but competition is fierce and the more eduation the better.
My 4 year history degree helped me spend a year the the Missouri Historical Society, but it wasn't enough to get me any real money, so off to the business world I went. And it's not nearly as interesting.
So if History is what you love, do what you can to get the most education possible.

Unless you want to doing boring research, which is what I did for a year after getting a history degree, you options in the "history" field are limited.
I am currently a high school history teacher but really teaching and research are your main options unless you are thinking of going to work at a bank or computer company (which kind of makes you wonder why you got a history degree.)

Teaching can be good. There are a lot of kids that do not like history, but it is all about the teacher making it fun for them or making them understand why it is important to their lives. Making connections with the kids is the key to teaching.

Absolutely nothing! Just kidding, but I was in the same situation 2 yrs ago. I spend then another year partying (ie studying) another Master which was just as useless for the job market as History. Now I'm working at the customer's dept of some company... But as long as you enjoyed your study (which I certainly did) just be happy!

Teach high school history and be a great role model for the kids.

Do whatever makes you happy! If teaching will do it for you, teach. If you think you are destined to teach at higher levels then you better stay in school.

1) Teach school. OR 2) Get a master's degree.
If you want to teach, you'll have to get a teaching certificate.

get a ph.d and teach at the college level--i found that to be very rewarding in many ways and endlessly amusing.
