What can I do with a BA in History?

Obviously, certain fields do require a certain degree (nursing, law, etc.) but there are a lot of other fields that don't require something that specific. ...

And in both of those fields, a "general" degree can be the stepping-stone to the termination degree needed to practice in those fields. I.e., I seriously considered law and my TESC liberal studies degree wasn't going to be a problem (I spoke directly with the admissions directors at two major law schools--not Harvard or Yale, of course, but good ones). And I'm currently considering an accelerated nursing program where my having a degree in ANYTHING means that I can get my BSN in about a year rather than the normal 4+ years that it would take. So having a general degree can help in those areas, too.
