Consider finding a trade that interests you and learning it. Welding may be a good one, just depends on your area there are a lot of options. If you can find someone to work for part time or however fits your schedule, that would probably be the best way. You can't go wrong with learning a trade, but the key is to learn it well from someone who is successful. You get paid to learn instead of the other way around, so if you decide to go out on your own you know what you are doing and are already money way ahead.

Seems like everyone wants to go to college and then get a "position" somewhere for big bucks. But there is a real demand for skilled tradesmen in many areas and there is real potential for a skilled and motivated individual. Without the time and expense of college, you can have a big head start in a few years. And it can be much more flexible than a lot of college level positions with more potential to work around your farming. It is just not true that college is required to make decent money, and especially if school isn't that easy for you, you may want to reconsider.

I would stay away from a lot of unskilled labor, nothing wrong with it, but if you are working be learning a valuable skill while you're at it.

This kind of thing has been working pretty well for me, so just some ideas to get you thinking.
