Hi. I have recently graduated with a degree in History. History is a very well regarded degree and it is a common misconception that History graduates primarily end up as teachers, museum workers or in heritage services. I have to admit I had severe doubts about the degree and wanted to change after my first year as I could see little vocational benefit in pursuing it. However I am glad I stuck it out. Like the above post states anyone with a 2:1+ level degree can take a law conversion. Be warned though it will cost you at least 5k for the conversion year! and will mean 4 years in education in total. If you are serious about becoming a lawyer you should take a Law degree. As alot of Graduate Schemes require a 2:1 level degree in any discipline, you may be better to take a degree in your strongest subject. I breezed through my BA and found it easy to get a respectable 2:1. As a result the choice of graduate schemes is vast. At the end of the day it's really personal qualities in the workplace that will make you succeeded, the degree just gives you one foot on the ladder. Good luck.
