Physical aspect of job

So I’m looking into becoming an electrician. However, I have some back issues and am worried that it would affect my ability to work long term in this career.

I’m 32 going on 33. My roommate is about to start school next month, and I am thinking about following suit.

I’ve had DDD(degenerative disc disease) since I was in my early 20’s. Also scoliosis. I workout 5 times a week and am in fairly good shape all things considered.

I’m a really hard worker when I need to be. I’m just worried my spine/back would limit me and that I would waste time/money on school if my back took me out of work.
