Apply to teach English in Japan. It is recommended but you do not need to know Japanese to work in Japan and I hear they are looking for more workers over there. You could also look at Teaching in China, South Korea, and Thailand as well. Hope this helps.
history is a solid major if you plan on going to grad school.
yep- to the OP, have you not considered grad school?
I recently went to an open house at NYU's Center for Global Affairs and both the Center's director and one of the main professors had both majored in history as undergrads. They of course, had advanced degrees but they both said knowing history was absolutely vital to the Center's mission and thus included history courses as prerequisites in the program.
i also heard its a semi common major for MBA's as well.
You couldn't pay me to go to law school. The idea of researching cases and what not sounds interesting, but you'd be dumb enough to go to law school, spend money, and wind up with a law degree, no job, and a massive amount of debt. I already read too many stories of people who went down that path.

I wouldn't go to grad school because I don't know what I would major in. I know it wouldn't be in history...........Plus I don't have any money, and plus the bachelor's degree was a waste for me. I'll just stick it out with the pharmacy tech thing since I'm certified, even though I don't want to do it.
Lots of warehouse jobs will get you that type of money [if not more].
Plenty of jobs that involve a little sweat equity exchange would pay considerably better than retail/fast food. Not to mention they typically offer full time hours, benefits and good potential for overtime. It makes me wonder why so many young people today look to the lowest paying sector by default. Perhaps hard work is looked down on these days

I know in my area fast food is about all that is left. Factories have been leaving my hometown for decades or closing entirely. I have the same question as the OP. I too, would like to know how one makes $10-$12 an hour or more. At least I could barely pay my bills on that salary.

The same thing happen to me in my hometown. After being laid off from my job that I had to drive an hour to get to anyways, I just gave up on it and moved. No sense in sinking with the ship.
