Looking for Active, Hands-On Problem-Solving Careers

I love the puzzle-solving side of computer science troubleshooting complex systems and digging into obscure issues but I can’t stand sitting at a desk all day. I’m not into coding or software building; I’d rather work with my hands, like fixing cars or repairing appliances. I’d love a job that’s active, involves moving around or visiting sites, and lets me work on real world problems. Desk work is fine in small doses, but I thrive when I’m interacting with systems (or people) directly. Bonus if working nights is normal I’m way more productive after dark. I’m also trying to break out of a rut and find something more engaging and less isolating. Any ideas for jobs that mix technical problem-solving with hands-on work? Let me know!
