You can't jump straight into a job that pays a lot of money. Your only 15 honey! You need to work your way up even if that means starting at the bottom of the chain.
A lot of people start off with earning only little and end up with a lot. I'd say get yourself a part time job whilst your at school. Start saving your pennies so as soon as your old enough you can move out away from your parents are their drug habbits.
You have a little brother who may also depend on you, he may see you as the only way out if he doesn't like they way your parents are.
If your wanting to study for your future job, pick something that you are going to enjoy. Not something that you think will give you lots of money. This is something that you are going to have to wake up to everday and spend most of your time at your job, therefore you do not want to be unhappy with what you are doing.
I think it's great that you don't want to be like your parents and follow their paths of drugs. That shows you are a strong person.
Just think about it a little more of what would make you happy in the future and a profession that you would enjoy. Money doesn't buy happiness.

But listen, the world is moving at a faster pace these days. The jobs that pay well today may not pay as well 10 years in the future.
And, I'm sorry to say, but all jobs that earn 100K-150K a year involve math.
Most of those jobs are medicine, electronics, computer-graphics, or Health/Human services.
Medicine is the one field that will keep earning lots of money, because there is a constant demand of specialists and people who can work to cure diseases and treat the ill.
You just need to work hard. There's no job that will pay 200K a year and not involve math.
Well, most of them anyways.
Sorry if that isn't what you needed to hear...
I wish you the best of luck.
Take care of your younger brother.
