I'd also try to finish your degree. I got out of HS in 1999 and was not going to go to college, maybe VO-TECH and become an electrician. Instead went to a state college in Industrial Technology Engineering. While is school, I started doing handyman work and odd jobs, later getting into accounts with multiple rent houses, then even later larger remodeling jobs. It took me almost 6 years to get a BS (party too much, work too much) but I did it in December 2004.
About a year later in 2005 my girlfriend (now wife) who took a computer programming job at a local manufacturing plant earlier in 2005 gave my resume to an engineer. I interviewed on an entry level engineering job and because of my "skills" wanted me to try multi-craft maintenance. I did and stayed about 5 years, making more than most of the engineers. The automation and robotics experience landed me a Process Control Engineer position at another local plant early 2010.
So if income for your family is important and you are not fed up with school, stay with it. I also play on my little 50 acre spread. As others have said, a degree, even if in another study will take you much farther than not having one. I cannot remember when I last made less than $20/hr and I'm only 30.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
