History has lots of great jobs related to it outside of teaching, you just have to be willing to accommodate yourself to the fact that you will never have much money and that you may need a "day job" at least part-time to sustain yourself, or a money making hobby here are a few, but I should forewarn you that I'm only really familiar with the US's history related jobs:
Reenactor: Honestly a great job for a student, there are historical sites ALL over the place that require people to be on site who are paid either through donations, grants, or public support. You'll also likely learn some interesting skills. There are also whole groups of people who tour areas, do convocations at schools, and charge admission as various historic persons. For example there is a guy here named Murray who just travels the country pretending to be Abraham Lincoln - or folks who do historical reenactment work on youtube even.
Research Historian: Think-tanks, news organizations, historical societies, libraries, some city, county, and national governments, as well as Universities all can employ research historians. You need to be able to deal with, track down, process, and communicate huge amounts of primary source information on a very fluid set of topics ranging from genealogy to matters of state, or business transactions, to architecture.
Archival work: Generally the whole field of library sciences is pretty much the business end of the historian's profession lol. You get to look up whatever you want and write about it in your spare time, or help other historians find the stuff in your collection + organize/preserve it.
Museum work: Museum work, depending on the size of the Museum, could mean just about anything - and it's super easy to get into as a field because virtually any Museum will gladly accept, and train, volunteers.
Journalistic work: Many newspapers and local TV news stations (and some national ones too) employ a writer specifically to do history related stories.
And none of those are being a history teacher - if it's not what you want to do, though it's a fine job in itself I'm sure.
I presently work in a Museum and it's bad ass - mainly because every day is different (mainly for lack of funding for additional staff lol). On any given day, I'll be doing carpentry (I put a roof on an historical (play) house, and helped to build said play house), case design, metal fabrication (to hold the stuff in the case or build the hooks and stands), archival work, data entry, research, genealogy, public speaking, journalism, tours, write pamphlets, administer essay contests, and answer general questions, as well as sell people baubles from the store, preservation, and even calling the bomb squad to detonate live WW1 ordinance lol.
My only other advice for the history field is:
1. If you're socially awkward or have trouble talking to people you really need to work on that because you *have* to develop a gregarious persona to find the best stuff and make the right contacts. Your social role is often one of story teller and you need to hook diverse groups of people.
2. You need to understand your alcohol tolerance - I've yet to be to a meeting of any sort where alcohol wasn't freely served.

Professional writer and part-time librarian running my own community program about interest in sciences and creative problem solving in children.
The librarian thing I got fairly figured out, the writing... Well. I spent the last 20 years writing things I never finish (or even start). I've been seriously chopping into a manuscript since I finally got a stable job, but then I run into some panic event and abandon the whole thing for like a month feeling completely hopeless about it. About half-way done Draft #1 now.

I want to either be doing something I find worthwhile, or getting paid to do not much
I don't have a lot of skills so I'll take what I can get
Otherwise, being a commercial pilot would be fun if I didn't have to endure the years of training
