Have you considered the cost of living in those areas versus where you're at now? Texas is typically a much cheaper state to live in than NY or Cali. Might be worth your time to head down here.
You mentioned Real Estate... My gf is a flight attendant & she just became a Realtor last year. The first few years don't make any serious money, but she's already supplementing her income enough to see that that field has some real legs on it if you've got the right support & backing.
Seeing her example, and the example of tons of other successful real estate couples in my area has inspired me to look into becoming a Real Estate Appraiser. Additionally, a lot of these real estate couples we know are making nice money day trading as well.
There are opportunities out there that don't require a 4 year degree, but these are typically opportunities that you still have to make for yourself by investing in your own development. So maybe college isn't the answer for you, but you're not likely to get something for nothing.
