Jobs similar to CP by work style, not by technical knowledge

TL;DR: I am not cut out to be a researcher. Asking for help.
It has always been a no-brainer for me that I would end up in a research job. However, after I made it last fall, I realized how different it is from CP and anything I had previously experienced at the university. The research requires analyzing and generating ideas for a particular problem for months. However, I would always encounter an obstacle in the first hour, which made me unable to move forward.
I believe the common knowledge of the research being the default career path must change. My understanding is that this view is reinforced by survivorship bias, where the CP community stops hearing about research dropouts, making the successful not realize how high the dropout rate is and universally label the doubters as having imposter syndrome (which is 100% real but overused).
I would like to raise points to discuss:
Are there jobs which value transferrable CP skills such as problem-solving under pressure? I thought about the aviation industry or, more generally, jobs which evaluate employees based on their reactions to emergencies.
Do you know anyone who successfully transitioned to some role mentioned above?
Is there any interest in a support group?
