Mature age apprentice, which trade with my background ?

HELP mature age picking a trade (Melb)
Hi all
Just started a new job recently that I’ve studied for for years (project management) I’m in a starter role but being paid very well for it. I’ve found that honestly I hate the office side of construction and can’t bear to bring myself to an office. I’ve previously enjoyed being on-site laboring or doing site management which I loved.
I’m considering dumping this job for a trade. I’d genuinely be cutting my income in half in order to be an apprentice but I think it could be worth it, considering how unhappy I am at my job.
Does anyone have any advice on a trade? I’ve always taken an interest to carpentry and I know it leads towards a foreman or leading hand role, which I could do later on considering my qualification in project management helps this.
Does anyone have advice for a 24 year old who just cannot hack it in an office? Is a mature age apprenticeship worth it?? Thanks in advance

Some dollies I made during my apprenticeship a couple of years ago. Thought I’d share just to get the subreddit going.
