People are sheep. They only know what they are told over and over and over. I personally NEVER had an answer for the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” And I despised school. So much so that in my senior year after fucking around for four years I dropped out with like 10 credits. Yeah super bad. I did however get my GED within a month and got a job. Started in fast food then moved to sit down restaurants to manual labor and now I’m an electrician making a pretty good wage. My point is you don’t necessarily need higher education. There is money in labor and if you’re real good you’ll end up somebody’s boss. As the boss I still bust my ass daily but I also have people under me for those really messed up jobs. 

With all that said, stay in school. You’ll have plenty of time later to be an adult.
