I need help weighing a return to construction vs. continuing my college education. Please help me out.

Hey ya'll. I live in GA; don't like it here and there's very little (I am not in ATL) in terms of related work to my industry (low voltage). The area I live in is quite conservative. I regularly hear the digs about it being unnatural for women to work in construction, that I just need to find a husband to help me make babies, it's against God to do this yadayada. I'm trying to gauge if I could stay sane in it... now if I am honest, a decent wage (by which I mean actually enough to secure myself a safe place to live, physically + mentally) does a lot for what I can handle. I'm trying to figure out if there is any real progression available other than me; I have been out of the field about three years. I have about a year of experience in new commercial installs and a year of troubleshooting, mostly data cabling, but some server room setup, patch panels, testing and locating wire breaks, customer education etc. The thought of working outdoors again in over 100 degree heat index for 15$ destroys me. Is there a way... either upskill or move (can only move within state rn; willing to go anywhere within) or something that I can work towards getting pay that would make me more self sufficient in this field?

I'm still working through my prereqs for electrical engineering. I'm interested in specializing in power systems or telecommunications systems design. Thing is, I have no real way to pay. I didn't go to high school here and have no way to prove I have lived in state as long as I have (long story) and I can't use the in-state scholarships because I will be too old to use them by the time I have residency. Right now I have full pell; I work 24 hours a week as a janitor. I have full pell for the incoming year as well. Over Fall/Spring 26-27' I could expect to finish up calc 1+2, physics +lab, gen chem 2, as well as a couple economic courses. My credits are accredited through the southern league of colleges. However once I finish the calc series I will be unable to take any more courses through the uni, and all of the universities I can find (in-state) charge around 10k a semester for full time work. If I am going to finish this degree I am wary of too much student debt. I don't know if it would be at all viable for me to earn enough money to support myself somewhere (with a roommate or two, though they would have to be random) and save up money towards those semesters.

I ain't got any family or anyone to ask. I know there are plenty of women here who have been on the blue collar and white collar side. Please share your perspectives. Being in this field as a woman is lonely and frankly I am lacking for women to talk about this with. What are the pros or cons of either that I may not be seeing? I wonder if I am blinded by the thought of making more money or extreme student debt. Or even if ya'll could help me ask myself questions to deeper figure this out; I will be posting this on choosemypath, as I am totally stuck.
