If you do feel that going into construction is right for you, then you must be determined enough to study while you're there and get a certification in whatever area you specialize in. I know someone with an Electrician's certification and he literally jumped from the $8/hr grunt work to being a $30/hr manager.
Studying and school will always be necessary, so if you don't think you can handle a certification exam (and they are really damn tough too - several years of studying), then you should seriously consider staying in school and studying now.
