Fall for the "college is a scam bro" meme

Trade jobs are actually a big fucking meme, and good luck with unions if you don't have connections.

LARP. If you had learned a real, marketable trade instead of just generic manual labor, you'd have been making a lot more than $60k before 10 years and you'd leave the back-breaking labor for the Mexicans and Meth-Heads making the shit pay while you do your skilled shit and collect bank.

Let's look at it this way: average hourly for a HVAC tech in NorCal is like 25/h which equates to probably around 45-50k a year.
The salary for techs caps out generally at 35-40/h and even still you need to clock overtime to reach anything above 6 figures even after tax.

Go to community college. The government pays for all your education in grants and tax credits + a nice stipend on top if you make less than $70,000 a year. You don't even have to quit. Just take 1-2 classes at a time for all four periods (summer, fall, spring, winter intersession) and you should be done with an associate's degree within a few years. Or do it all at once, again taking advantage of summer and intersession, and get it done in a little over one year. After that, as long as you have an associate's, your guaranteed entrance into a four-year state university (at least in this state), where the government will again pay for your entire tuition if you make less than $70,000 (if you go full time you'll need loans for living expenses though).

This. I did CC, undergrad, and grad with $25k in loans when I got out. First job was $75k and I paid that shit off the first year. Degree in instructional design.
