Nah man, being rich and siccessful is always better than being poor and unsuccessful.
What are you gonna do if you or your child or loved one gets sick and you can't pay medical bills or help them cause you wasted your life spinning worthless jewlrey?
Then you'll really hate yourself cause youll remember how you were once ACTUALLY IN the position to go to college and finish it and get a real paying career going.
Don't fuck around OP, you and your business partner need to wake up. The jewlry idea is a bust.

U gotta find the balance. Its really hard for us to make that descision for you, you just need to really think about what you desire and weigh the pros and cons of every scenario, in the end all works out as its supposed to with many lessons during the way but for sure having enough money to support oneself is key in the long run
Good luck, from someone who is bound to face similar dilemas

I've seen enough of that shit happen to my unfortunate friends, that i think it's better that these art kids be advised to not go that route.
He's not going to art school though. He's considering dropping out. He can work at Starbucks without graduating, and still make art.

I went to college, make good money and do everything listed and I do it really comfortably too.
How much money have you made off your jewelery so far? How much do you make a month selling jewelry?
Traveling and begging people to buy your jewelry so you can get some hotdogs or whatever sounds horrible. What happens when you get sick and have no insurance or money to pay for treatment? Or your friend bails out on you?
I'm going to suggest staying in college, but get out of the medical field if you aren't interested in it. Make and sell your art on your free time. Everyone I know that went to art school is some kind of cashier or low level employee. They sell their art on the weekends at fairs and festivals and hardly make any money. They could be making triple the money during the week and still selling their art on the weekends if they went to normal college.

Isn't staying in college a waste if he's failing classes though? He'd be better off taking some time away from school until he gets more focused as an individual.
Granted, school season and festival season are two different things, and you could do both if you managed your time well.

You only fail college if you don't do your homework and dont study for tests. If he can't handle doing that how can he do anything?

Some people are simply unfocused for school classes they don't have any real interest in. I just don't think it's worth throwing large amounts of money at something if you're not investing it in anything. It's pissing it down the drain otherwise. No use going in debt to get F's just to prove you can. Better to go back to it with more determination, ensuring your investment is a good one.

Yeah, maybe he needs to take less classes each semester so he can focus on passing. Switch majors to one he is interested in. Or take some time off and do construction until he's ready to head back.
That jewelry doesn't look like it would sell and even if it did, would it be enough to live on and save for emergencies? I'm really curious how much he is making a month selling that stuff.

Take Picasso for example, he made it big with his art, he got wealthy. But the difference between him and the million others who didn't make it, is he had the talent from birth. He was destined for it and is a 1 in a million example.
Bob Ross made millions because of art and he didn't sell paintings of get paid for his shows. He also said almost every episode that, "You don't need to be blessed by Michelangelo to make beautiful art, just takes practice and a desire!"

Not really. College is all about following instructions and they give you those on the first day of class. If you can do that then you can pass. If you have trouble understanding classes there are tutors to help. He also has the library and internet. Almost any problem can be found and researched on the internet. If he isn't passing it is because he isn't trying or is just dumb.

it looks like you do pretty good work, i know someone who does wire wrapping and makes his living off it, and his are pretty shitty comparatively. i live in a city that really gets behind local art though, it'll all be about your location and getting in to art festivals.

If college is really making you miserable you should definitely drop out and pursue other interests.
On that note, your jewelry probably wont sell very well as other people have pointed out. That being said, college will always be there for you if you decide to go back.
I'd suggest switching your major to something that holds your attention. It worked really well for me.

I think we've already established that he isn't' trying...
instructions don't cause someone to feel inspiration or motivation.

College is really about how much effort you're willing to put in. If you seriously want to finish you'll find a way. Good luck with whatever you decide, OP.
