Craig Conover<\/strong><\/a> has always been successful, but the Southern Charm<\/em><\/a> star has reached new heights in his career after he started chasing his passion. From being the man of the law to running his own business, the reality star has an extensive job history.<\/p>\n The Bravo star received his Bachelor of Science degree in 2010 from the College of Charleston and graduated from the Charleston School of Law four years later.<\/p>\n Craig had a rocky start in his law career because he didn\u2019t receive his law degree upon graduation \u200bdue to his failure to turn in a final thesis paper. However, he was given permission to complete the assignment tardy. After receiving his diploma, he took the South Carolina Bar exam in April 2017 and was sworn into the South Carolina Bar the following year.<\/p>\n In March 2021, Craig opened his own self-titled law firm.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t get run over, call Conover! You may have seen me on TV, but my clients know me as their personal injury lawyer. Conover Law Firm can help YOU with your personal injury or workers\u2019 compensation case,\u201d the Law Firm\u2019s March 2021 Instagram caption read.<\/p>\n However, Craig is seemingly no longer practicing law as he has found success in a new business endeavor and the firm\u2019s Instagram page hasn\u2019t been active since December 2021.<\/p>\n Craig was roasted by his costars for sharing his love of sewing, especially \u200bex-girlfriend Naomie Olindo<\/strong>. During season 5, Craig bought his own sewing machine to reignite his love for the craft, but it ended up being the kickstart of his pillow business. \u200bNaomie was not supportive of his dream, which led to his infamous line, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with my sewing?\u201d<\/p>\n The Winter House<\/em> \u200bstar reflected on that moment and admitted he felt \u201csad\u201d in that moment.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember starting to get sad, because they were really dogs with bones and they ran with it. I think I was lonely [at] the time because I felt like I was the only one that shared my thoughts [about the business],\u201d he told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in October 2023. \u201cFortunately, I had supportive parents, but soon after I ended up moving to The Bahamas and being like, \u2018I just need to find myself.\u2019 And everything happens for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n Craig launched his apparel and pillow brand, Down South Sewing, in 2018 and the business has reached great success in its first years. The reality star landed a pillow collection with HSN in 2020 and was grateful to reach a goal so soon.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like it has a healthy message: Don\u2019t let anyone ever tell you what your passion is and don\u2019t be scared to chase it just because it\u2019s not a societal norm,\u201d Craig told Bravo in June 2020 in reference to his career change. \u201cIt took me until I was 30 years old to start this. It\u2019s never too late to go out and do what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, Down South Sewing is selling out products and is such a hit that Craig opened a warehouse during the show\u2019s ninth season.<\/p>\n \u201cThis place is huge. But it\u2019s gonna fill up fast,\u201d Craig said during a visit to the warehouse during season 9, episode 3. \u201cSewing Down South has just grown exponentially, and it\u2019s incredible to go from selling out of my dining room to an e-commerce site to the flagship store. Now, we have enough inventory to have our own warehouse. So, move over, Martha Stewart. I\u2019m here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n Craig even includes girlfriend and Summer House<\/em> star Paige DeSorbo<\/strong> in his business and launched \u201cThe Paige Collection\u201d in October 2023. The collection offers four chic, black and white designed pillows that cost $65 each. The collaboration was a hit as the items are sold out, according to the business\u2019 website.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Jobs Has Southern Charm\u2019s Craig Conover Had?<\/h2>\n
