Have you heard about our economical condition? People that live here can't even get a job, leave it for about 10 years, maybe we'll be out of the recession then!

Not with a degree from a university in the United States. They do not acknowledge any degree from the States because they have a different grading system over in Great Britain. A student has to have all their teachers sign that they are ready for the next class, while we do letter grading. So if you want to move to England, then you will need to have a degree from one of their Universities to get a job. My AP American History teacher got a degree from Oxford, and eventhough it was a masters degree the United States school systems would not recognize her degree. She had to go through school again at UF to work as a teacher. I suggest you do some research into this matter since it could set you back up to 8 years, and then there is the matter of the schooling cost to go with it.

Just to add to the other answers - there are more history graduates looking for jobs teaching history than there are history classes in British schools. There is no demand for history teachers, so your chance of getting a history-related job is either very small (if you are an EU citizen) or zero (if you are not from within the EU). What we are short of in the UK are mathematics teachers.
