Tech sales is what I've seen, too. It's an up and down business with many layoffs and quotas and pressure, but it's high-paying and very flexible. You need to be a people person, but not a genius.

Really, this is true of selling most products--whether it's tech, houses (real estate), HVAC systems, alcohol to stores, industrial equipment, etc. I know people making really good money in each of these lines of work.
