Or any advice for possible careers for well, college dropouts.

As a former college dropout, I'd recommend that you stay in school. Seriously, I don't think you'll find a 35k year job without a degree. Add rent/car payment/repairs/clothing/401k and the other things you are looking for numbers on and your nut is around 35k year (before taxes.)

I think it would be fine if you want to get into a trade (electrician, plumber, carpenter).

As a dropout, your carrer options are limited to telemarketer, waiter, admin (secretary), barista/casher, etc.

When you drop out of school, corporate employers are going to think you are a quitter. (Guys in the trades won't care.) My life sucked until I decided to go back and finish college.

If you think school sucks, it won't suck half as much as a crappy low-paying job.
