If you have not gotten enough education, its impossible. Get as much education as you can. Businesses are looking for people with higher education. After that, i would be a doctor or lawyer. People are always getting sick, and people are always getting in trouble.

I would get into the medical field. Take a quick class in something like CNA, Lab Tech, etc... If you live in the US, this will bring your wage up to $12 - 16 an hour plus benefits. Then, get enrolled in college and get a degree in the medical field, which would pay $16 - $60 an hour, depending on what you get your degree in. A Physician's assistant makes really good money. Also, RN's that specialize in a certain area makes really good money, too.

You need to have a skill that someone is willing to pay for.
You should try to get a job that is harder to be outsourced - and that expands all of the time, most radiologists are now in India, they send the digital films there.
Jobs unlikely to be outsourced
anything with the government that requires ITAR (means you have to be a citizen)
Physical / Occupational Therapists / Nurses
Police / Firefighters/ EMT
Elementary / Junior high school teachers (some high school is being taught off of internet outsourced)
attorney (they don't know our laws, and can't telecommute to court)
Judge

Get a good education, as much as you can get in a field that you enjoy...
Without a highschool education people earn about $12,000 per year in the USA (varies for some people but this is about typical)...
With Highschool education... earn about $18,000 per year...
4 years of college... earn about $35,000 per year...
6 years of college.. earn about $50,000 per year...
8 years of college.. earn about $80,000 per year...
there is some variation on the job you do, if you are a teacher you will earn less than if you work in a major company, etc... but this gives you a rough idea of income.
Addendum: After WWII the US Government gave returning veterans benefits to go to college. This boosted prosperity and the Government took in more money in taxes from larger incomes.. so the investment of YOUR time and money into education are well worth it too!

where are you looking? If you have a clean license you should definitely apply for FedEx or UPS. FedEx has exceptional benefits package and great room for growth. Medical,Dental,Vision,Life,401k,Tuition Reimbursement,stock options... It doesn't hurt to try. I'm sure UPS has the same things but they are also unionized. the starting pay for FedEx is over $15/hr. Good Luck

If you are good working with your hands plumbers, electricians and carpenters are always in demand.
For the time being, go to work for a contractor who does the kinds of things you like doing. Learn the business and how to do get your own contracts. Then, if you wish, you can branch out and become your own contractor.

Robert, You are on the right track. Realizing how important it is to provide for your family is the biggest part of your battle. They are counting on you.
1Timothy 5:8 states:
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
What strong words! If it sounds like I'm on a soapbox, please pardon me...I am.
You obviously know where your priorities are. Good luck. You ARE on the right track.

It does not matter how much money you make - it matters how you spend it. If you have the get rich state of mind you and your family will live within your means and manage to save some. Work smart not hard. Live smart not hard.

Take a leap and go to school for something you are very interested in. Then get jobs, hopefully in the field you are studying, to gain experience. This takes time, but it is worth it to be marketable.
