intp artist career advice

I am an intp who is trying to figure out a direction in which to go career-wise.
I am math impaired which excludes me from many good intp careers. I graduated from art school four years ago and like working with my hands as well as executing my own ideas. I would like to study the history of the decorative arts but I think I need to give more consideration to making a living.
I am also worried about the idea of going into education. I love academia but I am actually idealistic about it and have watched too many idealistic educators in my family get frustrated. Also I may be too introverted.
