Electrical involves less working in messy situations but you'll also be cold more often.

I do think electrician offers more ways to specialize (network cabling, alarm tech, etc). Plumbing may also but I'm not as familiar.

HVAC tech as well. Good ones make a good deal more than people think and it’s really not that hard if you like working with your hands. The troubleshooting concepts aren’t that difficult.
