Thinking of quitting my job

I (35m) have been working a trade job where I’m making about 80k. Before that I worked jobs mostly driving trucks/ having routes where I was making 50k but I was much happier. The company I work for is a good company who treats me well, I just honestly don’t enjoy the work, but who does enjoy their job I know. Im not mechanically inclined so I struggle most days to keep up with the work.

I feel like a fraud because of the money I’m making but still don’t understand what’s going on half the time on the job. The only reason I got this job was because a friend of mine hooked me up. I’ve been here almost 2yrs and have done my best to learn and improve but it’s just really not clicking for me. It’s way better pay than anything else I will be able to find likely. Should I look for something that I enjoy more but will make less money, or should I just stay and make the better money for me and my family. I know I probably sound like an idiot cause people would kill to be able what I make with my lack of skills in my field. Money isn’t everything, but it sure fucking helps. Any thoughts? Thanks
