i don't really have patience to teach people, of any age, believe me, i've tried it already. Right now, i'm a business major, and an international studies minor, but i reallllly love history.

How about a writer?
My wife loves those books that are set in the past and have historical information mixed in.

My boyfriend is going to post-grad school next year for history (military history, specifically); he's wondered the same thing. They are going to pay him to tutor, as he's going to school. I suggested that he could write better history books than a lot of the ones he reads, but he said it wasn't very profitable.

You could go into law or any other grad program that doesn't care what your degree is in.
