Most people who own a construction business are good at construction and terrible at business. There is no long good outcomes long term to working in the trades for someone else.
Plumbing sounds ideal for you man. That, or HVAC.

Move to Australia.
Laborers earn 100k+ EASILY here. My dad earns around 200k.
OP, go into oil...it should be shooting back up again soon.
I'm probably gonna do the two years of CC then Transfer to a state school route. Thanks for the help though.

>100k+ EASILY
i've done laboring jobs for large, reputable companies and some of the pay has been as low as $19.50 an hour after tax even though the work sometimes consisted of hauling "25kg" bags of old concrete (some of the bags we actually weighed were closer to 35kg) up 60 stairs for 9 hours with only one <20 mins break.
some of them paid all right, between $25-35 an hour but the work made the $19.50 hour jobs seem cruisy.
no way would i ever consider actually making this a career, especially when there are somewhat attainable bludge jobs that pay close enough.
