Sales, if you can talk you can sell.
The issue with being a salesman is you have to deal with people extensively to get them to buy your shit. It isn't manual labor, but you are likely going to have to extensively deal with one customer for a long time, and you have to keep dealing with them after you've made your first sale in order to keep them. So if you don't like a customer, too bad you have to deal with it because losing a valued customer could be a real problem that can get you fired. Customer is always right and all that.
At least that is what I've been picked up from people who used to work in sales and from partners at CPA firms who are basically more like salesmen than accountants, also you need to really hunt for new business as often as you can to be a good salesman, which for many people is not exactly lazy work. I mean it is cushy because you can play golf, wine and dine people, and all that stuff but it isn't exactly easy work for some people.
