I'd recommend living at home as long as possible, if only because it's cheap and allows you to save/invest instead of spend all your earnings on the various costs of living alone.
I wouldn't stop going to college, and I wouldn't get married yet. If you consider a full time job and an 18 hour schedule to be taxing, how do anticipate having time for marriage? If anything, I'd try to take less off your plate, live at home as long as possible, get your degree, and then pursue other, more expensive practices, like moving out, and maybe, marriage.
There seems to be a vibe in society that living home is something that is looked down on, perhaps to the point of being embarassing, but I personally find it fantastic. Instead of spending $1k+ a month on living expenses, I am able to earn money and invest/save for the future when I do move out on my own. I get along very well with my parents, and thus my situation might differ, but ultimately, I'd recommend spending as little as possible, saving where you can, and finishing school.
