This too, programming is digital carpentry

Robotics.

It's technical work, the difference between shoddy work and great, work is immediately visible in the real world, and you're constantly working woth your hands. Soldering is slow, methodic and thoughtful. Math and physics matters a little but you can forgo theory a great deal of the time and come out okay.

Robotics is the carpentry of CS.

Plus programming microcontrollers feels nice. You know exactly what's going on, you can see almost every bit everywhere being flipped. Basically everything is documented to the last detail (ok, it's never 100%)
Just don't go too high level (like linux kernel high). shady stuff starts already there.
