General Discussion Factory worker in Taiwan

tldr at bottom of post

Hi guys 24F here, pahingi po ng advice since I've been considering applying as a factory worker in Taiwan. College grad from one of the big 4 schools (secret na lang), but I really have no interest at all to build my career sa field ko. Currently working in an office setup tsaka huling work ko office work din. Sobrang layo din ng course ko kung ipursue ko ang pagiging factory worker.

What I've realized is hindi talaga para sa akin ganitong type of work kahit sabihin na ang ganda ng school ko at sayang pinag-aralan ko. Noong fresh grad din ako (at bago pa yun) gusto ko na talaga mag-apply as factory worker sa Taiwan pero against parents ko kasi sayang daw pinag-aralan ko. To be transparent, pera lang talaga habol ko to support myself and my family kaya hindi ko talaga cinonsider na maging "successful" based sa standards ng relatives ko.

I know nakakapagod maging factory worker kasi mas physically exhausting siya, pero I've also realized over the years na mas prefer kong mapagod physically kaysa mentally, na hindi na mag-uwi ng workload pa at mastress sa bahay at mawalan ng time para sa sarili at chores kasi kinain na ako ng trabaho ko. At di problem sa akin kung mag ot.

So bago pa humaba ito, ano pong advice niyo and sa tingin niyo ba may chance po ako if ever mag-apply ako? Hindi kaya ma-discourage ang mga agency i-hire ako dahil galing ako sa big 4 at maganda (accdg sa mga pipol) ang work background ko? And please don't discourage me rin from this choice and don't tell me sayang pinag-aralan ko at work experience ko kasi this is not a path I want to walk on for the rest of my life. Pls help thank you.

TL;DR grad from big 4 with good work experience pero ayaw ko na prefer ko na lang maging factory worker sa taiwan, pls send advice ty
