Should I go home next year and go to school for Sonography (Ultrasound Technician)?

I am debating whether or not to transfer next year. I'm currently a freshmen at Winona State going for Elementary Ed and I'm not sure if it's what I want to do.

Pro: 

2 years of school instead of 4.5
Not have to pay rent
Free food (cooked meals)
Career path with higher salary
Get to show people their babies and what sex they are
Friends
Boyfriend
Family
Dog
Easier to get a steady job while in school if I'm home year round
Buy less books
More secure field with better benefits
Less of parents bitching about how they never see me
Not have to worry about getting into teaching program after 2 years of preparing
Not have to pay for teacher liscensure tests
Not have to make lesson plans or grade homework in spare time
Not have to pay out of pocket for teaching supplies

Con: 

Already leased an apartment in Winona (would have to find a subleaser)
Feel bad for ditching my friend/ roommate
Wasted credits
In a program that would help me get into the teaching program if I change my mind and change it back I won't be able to get back in
Drive 40 minutes to school every day instead of 5
I like to work with kids
Tell people if they had a miscarriage or problems with baby
Harder course work
Live with parents who may try to tell me what to do (less freedom)
No summers off - if I were a teacher I'd get summers off but make less money
Longer hours possibly
