How do I become a history teacher from here....?

Question

Alright, I have a BA in Visual Effects & Motion Graphics from an accredited School, but because of the non-exisistant job market I would like to go into my second love which is History, and particularly teaching it. I would like to go to an On-line school due to financial & time reasons, as I am currently stuck in Las Vegas at the moment (apartment lease). Any suggestions as to how to start, and where to go? and whats needed? I'm trying to stay in the area or South West at least. Thanks!

Dont do it... history is the specialty with the most licensed teachers who are unemployed or not employed in education- it is very hard to get a history position. Go into a field that isnt as popular like science, math or a foriegn language or even special ed and you wont have much of a problem getting a job
