Personally, I say keep the job, and start school. Just a figure to toss out there, the local comm college around me is dirt cheap, but have a lot of great programs. My little brother, 18, is going there for electrical trades, and after 2 yrs, is more or less garaunteed a union job when he gets done.
Welding and Machining also are high demand jobs, so if hands on is your thing, there are options in that direction.
And having A degree, regardless of which one (to some extent) it says something about your character to most employers. So yea, Degree is a total bonus.
