Such as a person w/a history degree can teach in school systems. Do they take a test? Or are some districts just desperate for teachers?

They have to take a state administered test to obtain a teaching certificate. This assures that they are qualified. They cannot teach without the teaching certificate, except for substitute teachers.
A degree in history makes one more qualified to teach history than an education degree.

Generally, at least in America, anyone with a college degree can take a few extra classes and get a teaching certificate. This isn't a degree on it's own, but qualifies that person to teach, usually in high schools and such. For younger children there are more requirements, I believe, and an actual teaching degree is likely more in demand, as you have to learn childhood development, etc. But that's how it works. A college degree of any sort is a pretty well-rounded education, and in-depth enough on basic subjects that with the right tools and a little extra from earning the certificate, a person is well qualified to teach.

As long as you have a good grasp of the subject you can teach at a Vocational School / Technical School with no degree or certification. Just a willingness to teach adults.

All they need is a college degree and a teaching certificate.
