I doubt I could truly help you, but wanted to place my input...perhaps you are limiting yourself to teaching in a classroom and not looking at the big picture. There is a scientific aspect as well as an artistic aspect to history degrees. Look at places like the Smithsonian or well-known museums. You can travel around the world studying history and displaying your knowledge of history, you can teach others about history without stepping foot into a classroom. Is there a particular moment in history that amazes you? Maybe you are thinking "I am a history major because I want to be a teacher" when really, you should be thinking, "well, maybe the Civil War is the most amazing thing in the world to me, I can teach others about the Civil War doing this, this, this" ---without even stepping foot into a classroom. Have you ever wondered what those historians you see in documentaries are really doing behind the scenes? Sure, no doubt a lot of those are teachers and professors, but many historians do other work that may be even more rewarding than teaching.
