Of course there is always the option of teaching. In order to teach that particular subject, I believe you would need a PHD.
Sounds like you are very young and have some time to plan your life. Start by taking your college general ed classes, that will be required no matter what you study. From there, talk to the career counselors at school to see what options are available to you. Also see what type of need there is for these positions. I may be a great career path. You may be better choosing something else you love and keeping this as a close hobby.
Keep in mind, alot of archeology takes a whole lot of science as well. You may love the historical aspects, and hate the science part. You may be better off reading about it in your spare time. But that is why career counselors are there...

Ancient History Jobs

Ancient History is a really difficult field to get into as far as jobs are concerned. If you study Ancient History I would suggest that you undertake a Bachelor of Education as well, then at least you've got a couple of options. Of course, you still need to consider whether you're suitable for teaching. Archaeology as somebody else has suggested, is also a good option, but again, employment is limited. Extremely interesting though. Ancient History is a wonderful subject to study and I would say go for it, just be realistic.

Go into grad school into archaeology. You might want to enlist the help of a career counselor. They can help you choose your career path as well as point you in the right direction on what to do in graduate school.

if you're good enough you may be able to getting a teaching degree then become a professor (at a Uni.). professors are paid quite a bit (unlike normal teachers)
