Fine/liberal arts? May I ask which country?
You're still young, if you're not sure, you can get another degree and still have the advantages students have while studying.
I have a master's degree in fine arts and I regret not taking more photography classes while I could. That is a skill that could help you make a decent money if you're also good at hunting for commissions. I'd say that in general, if creating is your passion and you are good at promoting your work, running your own business and good at discerning profitable offers from scams then you should be able to live off your art comfortably.
But truth to be told, most of art graduates I know became teachers because that was the easiest path for them. It provides the stable income for them and then they usually have side business where they try to sell their own art.
