I wouldn't do a degree in sociology. I'm speaking as someone who did one in history. It was fun doing it, but it's pretty rough once you're done. It's unlikely that you'd be doing anything connected, though one UW sociology PhD i know got a job doing census work. He only got that job because he's fluent in Spanish, so you'll need sociology + something else.
If you're interested in teaching, get a degree in education. Sociology probably won't help too much there. Finding a post in teaching is hard, but these days, what isn't?. If you don't have family obligations, teaching in China or someplace might be a good way to see how much you like it.
Have you visited that metal-working school out in Stoughton? They're pretty cool. One way to dabble with metal is to do a class or two at MATC. It's cheap.
Brewing would be a good idea. I volunteer to test your stuff!
