If you like being outside and building things, maybe look into being a home builder for a company.

I've worked for companies that build houses. I've done masonry (bricklaying) and laboring for a company who builds apartment complexes. I hate being outside. Especially in +20 to +30 celcius in the summer then -20 to -40 in the winter.

So yea, gl

Is it boring or stressful? Is programming incredibly repetitive? I really don't want a career that I'm always doing the exact same thing. I'm still not sure what to do.

Bah, so confused and stressed.
