If you want to go the route of a work visa, you'd need to get a job in the UK first. This can be difficult even at the best of times, but will probably be even more difficult without a degree. If you're not happy with what you're studying anyway, it might be worthwhile to consider starting over and studying something new. If you have the financial means to support yourself, pay fees, and have an offer for admission to a UK university, you should be able to successfully get a study visa, so you'd be able to stay there for the duration of your studies, at least. Afterwards, you might be able to find a job and stay on for longer, but the likelihood of this is difficult to predict. You'd stand a better chance if you obtained a qualification in one of the skills listed in the UK's skill shortage list. You can find the list on the official UK government's website.
Best of luck!

I think supporting a family of 4 on GBP 3200 per month might be difficult.
I think you can expect to pay at least GBP 2,000 for a two bedroom flat/apartment and then you'll need to factor in the cost of bills on top of that. Then there is transport, food and lifestyle expenses!
Also, what type of of schooling do you want your children to have? Private and international schools in the UK can be very expensive. But if you are legally working in the UK your kids will legally be allowed to attend a public school at little/no cost. That said, popular ones are hard to get into sometimes.
I think you should look at the Cost of Living in the UK to get an idea of costs. The prices in Birmingham will be cheaper than London, but you can still draw up a budget.
Good luck
