Getting an engineering (if you want to get involved in the R&D aspect of it, like Wiggles at Adire) or business degree (more helpful for managing your own shop) will help you out quite a bit...

Is this gona support youre family NO, should you give up colloge for this NO, Is this a GREAT job while youre going to school and college ABSOLUTLY(if you know what youre doing) would you make more money if you owned a shop and did installs rather them going to shchool YES. So plain and simple if you wanna work for yorue self go for it if you want to make money work for as long as you can, save up open a shop and now EVERYTHING.
