Think about why you want to go to law school. I went for ALL the wrong reasons, the main one being to make "Daddy" happy since I once mentioned that I might like to go to LS and then had a lot of pressure on me to persue a degree. I did graduate, but could never pass the CA bar. I had always wanted to be a teacher. Years later I was teaching at our local JC and I LOVED it! When my ex left and I needed to go back into the workforce (I was out taking care of my 2 kids, one who is special needs) I started to think about being a paralegal, took refresher classes since I had been out of LS 15 years at that time, and realized how much I hated the law.
LS was a lot of work, very time consuming, very stressful, not a pleasant experience, and then when you finally get that degree, you have to deal with the bar exam. Don't know how bad the exam is in your state, but at the time it took it here in CA (6 times to boot) the passage rate was in the high 40's. Now I put out a lot of work and time and had nothing more to show for all my stress and tears.
If you love history, I say go with it. Do what you love, life is too short not to follow that dream
