Why not get out of school asap and look for an after-hours job as an instructor? You get to make extra money and be around your passion. Honestly if your goal is to make a lot of money with your own business, opening your own school probably isn't the best plan. But if your goal is just to be around your passion then keep the day job and become an instructor, more money in that most likely.
The thing about not wanting a day job is 1. I don't to spend 1/3 of the rest of my life doing mundane tasks for a company and 2. I want time to train myself for competition. If I'm working a day job then I will have to devote the rest of my time to teach, leaving little or no time to train myself. If I want to be around my passion then spending the bulk of my time at a day job is counterproductive don't you think? My point is that I don't need a lavish lifestyle with an aston martin and a mansion, but to make a good living out of what I love; enough where I don't need to stress over whether I can afford a nice dinner for the family, yearly vacations, or random material splurges (clothe, electronics) here and there.
