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.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
