Ontario

TL;DR: I dislike programming and desk/office jobs in general, but I know these are first-world problems, and that being a developer would give me a way better life than the vast majority of people in the world. Is it still okay to want to pursue something else, even if I would be incredibly lucky to be a software developer? 28M in Ontario, Canada here. Last year I completed a 3-year college program in Computer Programming & Analysis, and in that program I completed three co-op placements (one in IT support, and the next two in software development). There aren't a lot of jobs available in that field right now, and I'm currently working part-time at a movie theatre. There are things I dislike about being/pursuing being a software developer, but at the end of the day, I know these are first-world problems, and that getting to spend my days in a climate-controlled office is a way easier life than most people have. I've always dreaded working a desk job. In every co-op placement I had, and in every desk job I had before that, I was essentially spending the whole day counting down the minutes until I could go home, and every night, counting down the hours until I had to attempt to fall asleep for the next day. I've always been a very fidgety person, and the thought of being a full-time software developer has filled me with dread since before I even started my college program. I just don't understand how I can spend my whole day at a computer, at one desk, and not feel like I'm going crazy. When I worked as a cleaner in a community centre, I genuinely felt that I could do something like that as a job every day and be happy. I get to work with my hands, I get to see the results of my work, and it doesn't involve abstract and algorithmic thinking, which I've always felt I wasn't very good at. If I could choose between being a software developer or a janitor, but I'd make the same money in either job, I'd pick being a janitor 100% of the time. I'm currently studying and practicing piano tuning with my family's piano. I've always been passionate about musical instruments and I love the work. I know that's a stupid career idea, but looking into the field and talking to professional tuners, I genuinely think it's more likely that I can start making money tuning pianos than I can writing code. Having a job where I can drive to a few different locations in a day and perform a hands-on skill appeals to me so much more than any corporate office job. With all this being said, would it be a good idea for me to think about pursuing something that isn't a desk job when I'd be incredibly lucky to be a developer? Would that be a waste of time? I know I'd be lucky to be a developer, but there aren't a lot of jobs available, so I almost figure I have nothing to lose.
