Answer 1

I agree with Knowan, not much. Unless you immediately go on to your masters, or get a teaching credential, there isn't much if anything you can do. If you get a teaching credential, you could at least teach art in a school, and if you get your masters, you might be able to do it in a college, but other than that, you're stuck with a pretty much worthless degree.

Answer 2

Try applying to the Louvre for a sabatical posting (part-time) and see what They have to say. To gain admission to the tour guide staff at the Palace of Versailles a Degree in Art History is the absolute minimum qualification that will be accepted. You should have stipulated your Alma Mater and Nationality, Age and Gender. But not to worry. Try contacting the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia. The Curator's name is 'Edmund Capon'. He is a very generous Man and may be able to give You some advice. See if that helps You. Your only other option would be to teach art at School. Pre- Raphaelites for pre-pubescent 6th Graders? Titian in two colors? Caravaggio in crayon? Not quite right, is it? Good luck.
Cheers.

- Art Curator or pretty much any Museum Job
- Research Assistant
- Art History teacher
- Library worker
- Archivalist
- Non Profit work in Art/Art History
- Grant writer/researcher

Pretty much any undergraduate liberal arts degree gets you into a variety of professions associated with teaching, writing, editing, and scholarly research/academic work. So don't worry, you are off to a great start with that degree!

Seriously, if you don't already have an idea of what you want to do with this degree then don't waste your time and money on getting it.
