Thanks for kicking some arse! You have my respect and honor. I think your wife a few others have nailed it here. pursue a sustainable career that will support your family without taking you away from them. Build on your existing talents and enjoy the wrenching on the side.
I was faced with this same life changing career decision back in High School. I loved working on cars and even had developed a plan. At the end of my Senior Year in HS I decided to pursue an engineering degree...I didn't even know what an engineer was or did at the time, my counselor told me I was good with Math and Science and indicated engineering would be the way to go. Now, 23 years later. I'm a senior Automation Engineer working for a large oil/gas producer and would never had imagined the value of this degree to support my family and others. I have the time and the resources to play with my hobby project cars as well.
I've seen people who can build beautiful houses and go home to a dump every night because they don't have the motivation to work on their own house.
Hope that helps.
