Could you which country you are from? The European job market works differently than the US, and other parts of the world probably have even more differences.

From my experience, historians generally work a lot with language i. e. writing, reading, presenting. The academic discourse mostly works through reading other people's work and publishing papers of your own. Additionally, understanding history often requires a decent understanding of how countries, societies etc. work, so I've often found that people who are "good" at history often have a broader general knowledge.

I've asked myself the same question as you have and I've found that there are a number of professions that go well with these skills. People with good language skills often go into journalism or PR, they naturally also work in archives and libraries. Other careers, aside from working as a historian, include being an author, writer or presenter/moderator.
