One question is whether or not you're expected to be the principal breadwinner in your non-traditional family. Having the potential for three incomes means that you don't necessarily have to have compensation as a primary concern, but if the dynamic is such that you're expected to bring in the lion's share of the family income then it becomes more of a concern.
If you're not overly worried about compensation, social work can be very fulfilling. Your prospects in that field would be improved immensely by a two or four year degree. I know here you could get an SSW (Social Services Worker) certification in two years and walk into some homecare or nursing jobs for respectable-if-not-great wages, but I'm not sure how that translates for Americaland.
Starting a web dev business is an option I suppose, but I don't need to tell you that the competition is fierce, and you'll want to sit down and think very carefully before you dive into it on whether or not you really want to be your own boss. A lot of people don't, and there's nothing wrong with that.
