Speaking for myself here and what I am doing, I am in a very similar situation you are now currently quite honestly. And the past year I have been taking classes but I am very just unsure about them. So I am actually taking the fall semester off to figure out what exactly I want to do with my life once I graduate. I feel like this is the best course of action for me since I have been doing nothing but school each and every day of the year so I never gave myself a chance to really... "think" about not what I was doing but also why.
I feel like if you take a break and come back to it with a fresh outlook on things you might know what you'll want to do
That's what I plan on doing and I certainly hope it does help.

I'm in the same boat, no idea what I want to do or be in the future, I've skipped through a couple jobs and still couldn't find anything I'm interested in, I've come to the point where I'm about to sign up for a bachelors degree in Infomation technology/cyber security to follow what my Dad is doing
I have physical labour as like OP said I don't like coming home both physically and mentally drained, I may not know what I want to be, but I do know I would rather sit behind a computer/desk than doing physical labour for the rest of my life.

Firstly, i know this reply is 11 days late, but i just wanted to say something. Don't follow your dad because he's your dad. Do something that you know you'll love a couple years into. Secondly, If you're going to enroll into a bachelors degree, go to the career advisement center. I'm sure most colleges have an office where they can help you find something.
Im sure there is something you're very passionate about and that there is a career for.
Good luck!

I spent my early to mid 20's as a finance manager/director in a large auto group. Having gone well over 10,000 credit applications, and seen all sorts of jobs/incomes and types of people that go along with them, one thing I learned is those that live the rat-race were usually the customers full of debt and spiritually drained (regardless of how much they made)
Occasionally there would be those who made millions a year, sometimes at very young ages, and what usually set them apart is they don't follow the guidelines set in front of them in the corporate systems, and look at life in a different way - sort of like a game, and just do whatever they want not fearing failures.
If you worry a 9-5 working behind a computer screen is going to be a dead-end then just don't do it. I can tell you 1 thing, from the massive pool of people's financial histories/lives I have seen, people very very rarely build any type of wealth or freedom working those jobs, and are usually buried in debt their entire life in constant cycles of buying things.
It sounds cliche', but having had a job where I would look into the financial/lifestyles of all applications, and spend about an hour with each customer, you tend to see quite a few patterns, and going down the 9-5 path doing something you're unsure of almost always leads to being buried in debt, and living a groundhog day life each and every day.
The people who fall in the patterns of killing it day to day, are those that have found what they are good at and jump fully in and make their own way.
