Grad school options for history major undergrad?

Update:

I'm looking into grad school with the degree of a history major and film minor... would that be a good background to go into something like documentary film school or film research/production for grad school? or should i forget my passion and just do teaching? does anybody know of any good post-undergrad ideas for history majors or certain schools/programs i should look into? (just not law)

    You can certainly go to film school and earn a graduate degree. Why not? Historical documentaries might be something that you could focus on -- the sort of thing Ken Burns does.

    There are some professional degree programs for which it doesn't matter what you majored in: law school is one, as you've realized. Social Work is another, though nothing you've said suggest that field interests you.

    And, of course, you could do a graduate degree in history. With an MA and teaching certification, you'd more saleable to good secondary schools and possibly to the education department of a history museum or related institution.
