history degree?

I am a freshman in college and want to switch my major to history and minor in political science..i started out as a business major just because my family said it would be a good major and i figured i would make good money right out of college...but i quickly found out that i hate the business major...i like poly sci better but my school only has a minor available for political science so thats why i would major in history and minor in political science...the thing is if i major in history i don't want a career in history...i love learning about history and political science but i don't want to be a teacher or work in a boring museum...what are some realistic careers with a degree in history and minor in political science?..and does this mean ill be poor for the rest of my life if i major in this?..because i realize sometimes employers think history majors don't have the education to work for large corporations...any help or suggestions?..i would really appreciate it.

2. Get into politics - work on the Reelect Obama 2012 campaign after you graduate.
3. after u obtain your bachelors degree in history and political science, u will probably have to go to graduate school after that if u want a well paying career. U could go into law school, international relations, information science, journalism...
4. I am currently majoring in political science, but am soon planning on changing my major to history. I was going to go into law school, but decided that I wanted to be a history professor. College profs don't make too bad of money (more than public education, anyways). You could get a doctrine! Imagine being Dr. WhoeverYouAre! That is what I am going to do, I want to know all there is to know about history,mainly U.S. history, and I don't really care what the pay is.
