Should I become an electrician or a programmer?

I'm a freshman in high school and my dad wants me to major in computer science for collage but personally I want to become an electrician as I want a job that is practical and not in an office staring at a computer screen however programming is something I do enjoy and do it as a hobby nothing to serious (just some text based games in python) but being an electrician appeals to me more and I understand programmers earn a lot more.I was just wondering if someone could give me some advice.Thank you
