So what is your input?
We know nothing about you so an answer is near impossible.
Getting ready to graduate; high school?
Assuming high school what kind of grades did you get? What courses, algebra with trig or general remedial math?
What is your experience with the millwright, HVAC or electrical trades or is everything you know about them is what you read on forums or see on tv?

Im graduating High School, I get good grades in everything except math (algebra with trig). Everything I know about those trades is what ive researched or read on Forums.
Statistics support degrees over non-degrees in terms of potential earnings. That said, everyone's "potential" is different. So its very hard to say what will work for YOU (as others have also indicated).

You can get a degree in Homeland Security? What will it teach you, how to use the rainbow color system to determine if terrorists have weapons of mass destruction?
Over the long term, the degree will earn more money. In the beginning (first 5-8 years or so), the tradesperson will out earn a college attendee (because he/she is attending college the first 4-5 years) and then looking for their first job. But, in the later years, generally speaking, the college graduate should out earn the tradesperson.

It's one of those post 9-11 made-up degrees that serves as a new income stream for some universities while making students think they are going to get a job with Homeland Security or a federal agency.
