Answer 1

You could always become a history teacher...

Answer 2

Have you considered studying the history of economics? Some interesting stuff happened during the time of the Medici, I' sure there must be other interesting times in the life of economics - and you'd have an unparalleled insight, being trained in economics before you went looking.

If you're not interested in professionships, you could write books, or documentaries or archaeological research into the economics of lost cities... or whatever you like, really.

Why don't you go looking online to see what people are doing in history, and see if you like something that you see.

If all else fails, you can support yourself financially with your economics, and study history at night-school (or Indian equivalent), until you have learned enough history to  make up your own mind what you want to do.
