1. Library science
2. Bookstore owner or employee
3. Bibliographer - broadly, the study of books
Bibliography has many applications, i.e. employment by publishers to verify references in other books; or just the study of books themselves, origin, types, etc. You could be a book dealer AND a bibliographer, which would mean you really knew your stuff. It would take a while to build a clientele, or you could apply for a job with rare book dealers. You could even specialize in folklore.

Consider becoming an editor, a writer, a museum curator, a librarian, a fact checker for a newspaper, a reporter with an eye towards a syndicated column. Let me know if you need more suggestions.

If its art history- museum and archives work.
Many companies need researchers to investigate things, and most folks with a strong history, Reading, literature background make excellent researchers.
Also the legal field would be very good, and if you can memorize history, than law will be so easy for you. Its taking that information and applying it.
Good luck!

You could train to be a librarian. Stop by your public library and ask the librarian what they like about their job. If it sounds interesting to you, you need to get a master's degree in library science.
There's a growing need for librarians and information specialists as many are retiring baby boomers. Already there is a shortage of children's librarians.

Have you tried your CHAMBER OF COMMERCE for ideas? - I know that my area C.O.C. offers windows of opportunity as a STORYTELLER for people w. your skills. I know of a few (some local and others from a distance) who CHARGE A FEE to simply STORYTELL.
I believe the NATIONAL STORYTELLING GUILD is HQ'd in somewhere near Tennessee. I'm sorry for not having the precise website, but I bet you can "fuzzy-search" with keywords relating to STORYTELLING.
GOOD LUCK!

why don't you get a job with a local historical society? actually, it wouldn't even have to be local. you love new york city, get a job with their historical society, or even detroit, or where ever you wanna go. also, perhaps a job in an attorney's office might be nice for you. you could research, plus type documents and such.
