It will be difficult to find an actual job doing that pays anything unless you go with education and are willing to accept a fixed income.
If you had you primary degree in something more lucrative, and minored in art that might work out better for you. The term "starving artist" has been around for a very long time and for good reason. The current business climate in turmoil because the government is actively trying to destroy it. So discretionary dollars are non existent. When a dozen eggs costs more than a gallon of gas...people are not going as inclined to need an artist's services.

@TexChik thanks, yeah these are all the things in my head right now. I'm just not sure what else I would want to do really

@Shutterspeed If you like art, and art history, study that, work at a museum part time , become friends with the curator and help out for free and pick their brains. That knowledge is valuable . Just a thought.
