Graduating with a history degree next semester. Any advice on what I should and can do with it?
Wipe your ass with it. If you want job recommendations go to /biz/ but they'll tell you the same.

Sate department, park services, teaching (with educational certification in most States), tutoring, tour guide, etc.
Museums are a good route, but finding an entry level spot in one is hard as fuck. I mean it, it's nearly impossible.
Begin working with your academic adviser, history department, and career services department to look for places and start networking.
Also, this site's got a few options for you to think about as well:

Go get a masters at least and try to work your way into a university position.
You will probably end up teaching in some capacity but at least it's not high school kids.

Do honours or masters.
>tfw got rejected from honours
>cant do anything with my bachelor but teach
Guess i'll learn to love teaching. Doesn't seem like a bad job

I'm usually a /sci/ browser and I'm so glad that I major in something practical and double major in something impractical.
You know the story about the ant and the cricket? I worked hard over college and I'm going to get a job that I enjoy that I will support yourself while you majored in something that you enjoyed and entertains you so you will suffer in the winter that is called life.

Go to law school
Law School
Law masters if in the UK
If you went to somewhere decent like UCL you should be fine
Segue into law
Start looking for internships and curatorships and anything remotely similar ASAP, ask every academic you know for advice
Get an MA/PhD but the latter only if you are really damn sure because it is not a good field to be in at this point unless you're talented and/or devoted
