I’m thinking about abandoning my IT career and going full office space

I have been IT for 2 years now or 2.5 if you include the internship. Associates in computer network and Security+. I’m now a IT field technician or Field support IT administrator according to indeed before my title I got swapped lmao. My job now is the most IT job of the bunch. I arrive on site and have to fix something different every day and think I l don’t like it. It gives me anxiety and feel I’m on the verge of a panic attack most days. I hate taking b**** a** phone calls and quite frankly don’t like this work very much. I hate the everlasting grind. I hate CompTIA, those things are brutal to pass and take the wind out of me. I have a method of BRAIN DUMPING my last week of studying for the exams and passed 2 out 3. I doubt I could pass one without *redacted*. don’t think I have the brain for this, Never had any passion but only for money. I want to get to that sysadmin/network level.. but can’t for the life of me. It took me 700 applications for my now job. I feel bad because I feel like every mom, son and dog wants my job. The competition is insane.
So now, I’m either going to keep going, or quit and join the IBEW and become an electrician. Or I’ll get X’d out of IT once my boss finds me so bad and fires me…. Which btw ALMOST HAPPENED from my first IT job from my gross incompetence. think the electrical cables sound fun and seems like a good alternative. I’ve had two Grandpas do it and I want to follow in their footsteps. But I’m a little hesitant because I’m worried if my body would last. I had a sport related back injury that pops up ever now and again for the last 8 years and have had tendinitis in my Achilles in the past. But idk any stooping, crawling, standing , sitting fights off the tendinitis. Been told electrician is the less physical of the big trades ( plumber, HVAC, roofer, etc) and ya.
Should I become a sparky?
