Should I give one serious attempt at State PCS?

Hello I am 30/F, married and no kids. I have exhausted all (6) attempts at UPSC and have written Mains twice with quite decent marks in essay (110+) and ethics. I also have an architecture degree which I had planned to get back to incase things don't work out. I know I would have to start at entry level with modest pay.

But there are 2 things which are refraining me from going all in for my backup plan - first not much interested in working in architecture anymore and second I want to be absolutely sure with my choice now because whatever I pick up will be the thing I would be doing for the next 30 years. Devoting 2 years for a master's now is not much feasible because of my family situation and age.

MPSC does feel a little doable given my background but self-doubt and anxiety kicks in. Any suggestions on what can be a good path ahead?
