Teacher - at all levels of education
Museum curation and research
Archives - I used to work at a major historical archive on the West Coast; archivists collect, organize, and make available historical materials like documents, posters, etc.
Historical archeologist
Preservation (many governments employ historians to identify, study, and preserve historical sites)
News researcher
Foreign service
A number of history-related professions which fall outside academics are frequently grouped in a relatively new field called "public history".

Good luck with it, if you pursue it.

I'm a history major. There is a ton of stuff out there. You could teach, write, become a researcher. With a public history degree you could do archival and/or museum work.
If you check out the links in the sources section, you should be able to find actual job postings and job descriptions. That might help you out. You might also try looking at an Occupational Handbook, which is available in most libraries.

Libraries have a 'Local History Librarians'. It involve helping people who are interested in history local to the library. This could be a option.

My best friend was a history major in college and now she teaches high school. Or you can get your PhD and be a professor.
