Finance is really brutal

I am 22M who completed his grad recently and cleared 2 levels of CFA have done 2 internships which were not entirely related to finance so when I used to feel like I don't wanna do this I used to feel like when I get a finance job I won't feel like this,

but now from past few months I'm at a finop job and I have realised that finance field is a different game as when you are in a job it's so tough you have to be on your active brain mode 24/7 and now I'm feeling like maybe I'm not fit for finance my parents say that I should keep trying as I do have the capability but I just don't feel like being in this field anymore and Don't get me wrong I used to love studying for CFA and genuinely even if someone today asks me any doubts regarding CFA I help them completely but working and studying are very different,

I'm genuinely considering switching fields and the closest option I feel like is going to my family business which is not that set up its a small manufacturing factory which is also seasonal so I think that's why my father never wanted me to come to that line and I feel shameful going back to him after wasting time money energy on finance

Ig I just wanted to ask if someone has done this before like switched fields or felt like this
