If you want to try something totally different, check if you have a local volunteer fire department looking for new recruits. I know a few people who eventually transitioned from tech and made it into their full-time career. I think part of the draw is you show up, solve a problem, leave and feel good about it.
firefighting is one of the most stressful and brutal occupations. def not something to just jump into on a whim.
