My 17 yo son has started his own business welding fuel transfer tanks. He's doing very well. My other boy is also successful in trades. Neither finished 9th grade both are smart enough to be engineers but prefer hard work.
I believe at the very core you just need two things to survive education wise;
Understaning basic finance to live within your means
Having a skill or trade that is in demand and can't be offshored, sunsetted or otherwise made obsolete in your lifetime.
My Grandfather was a Korean war vet and then physicist. He said, "if you just understand physics, you can get through a lot."
I have always found that to be true.
That's a good way to stay alive for sure lol. Smart Grandpa.
