Finish your degree. But it would be a shame if you totally dropped the hobby you’re passionate about right now in favour of listening to the conventional wisdom and becoming a “true autonomous adult”.

See if you can make both work out somehow. You’re not alone in this and there are many streamers that manage to pull in money to cover their living costs while still being able to pursue an education and the necessities to thrive (hanging out with friends, exercise, learning skills not related to anything in particular, etc.).

Try to combine your two passions somehow. Building gaming-related products and creative ways to give back to your viewers using your engineering skills would be good candidates.
