Most non tech fields will not have the flexibility of WFH etc. Pay will most likely be less unless you are a big shot Doctor/Lawyer (requires decades of accreditations so thats ruled out) or Investment Banker/Private equity associate/managers (extremely high barrier to entry and requires elite schools/experience already which you don't have).

So the "other fields" that you dream of will most likely be paid much less on an average with much less work life balance. For example, if you work on cars, you will most likely have to commute to an office or even a factory with terrible working conditions for the most part. Reality of how it works.
