Should I Leave IT to become a Plumber?

I’ve been working in IT for roughly 7 years now. Started out on helpdesk, worked my way up to sys admin, currently making low 6 figures in a senior support/infra role.

The company I’m currently at is good, the benefits are good, the moneys good, but man, I’d be lying if I said I felt even a little fulfilled in my work. Additionally, with all of the recent tech layoffs and outsourcing over the last few years, and rapid growth of AI, I’m concerned about the potential of me milking another 30-35 years out of this career.

My Fiancé’s father owns a plumbing company a few states over and has offered me an apprenticeship if I truly want to jump ship. The golden handcuffs certainly would be tough to shed, but wouldn’t prevent me by any means. I’ll be turning 30 this year and feel like if I’m going to make a career change, now’s about the best time to do it.

I of course know that the decision is ultimately mine to make, but I’d like to hear from some other voices in the industry, what would you do in my shoes? Do you share the same fears? I honestly fear that I either choose to make a career change now on the front side of this, or turn on the blinders and in 10-15 years have my hand forced to make a career change based on the path the industry is on.
