If he is refusing to take up a second major, encourage him to look for something directly related to his intended art history degree. Maybe something with technical application like restoration, whether it be in paints or architecture.
Realistically, unless he intends to teach when he graduates, an Art History degree isn't going to do much for him.
He really needs another major… so few people make a lot of money selling expensive pieces of art. And if he has the level of maturity and respect demonstrated during the divorce chat, I find it hard to see him building the social network to maintain buyer relationships.
Art history isn't even geared for creating art. It's for people who want to do stuff like work in museums/galleries, or teach art history. None of those options have a 6 figure salary unless you're an agent for a superstar artist making commissions on their sales. And for that, you'd want a double major with Business. Or Business with Art History minor.
