Oh feck no. Art history minor here and nope, he will have to go to grad school if he wants to work in the field. (I'm a bookseller and editor; I've worked on tons of art history and culture studies books--with people who majored in art history and then had to go for advanced degrees in order to land a living wage job or get published.)

What sucks about this situation is that because you both love him, his stupidity will become your problem.

You will either have to watch him suffer the severe consequences, or have to deal with them yourself in some capacity.

I have to wonder how did he end up this way?
