Lab rat.
I did it for many years at a biotechnology company. I was constantly on my feet, at the lab bench, different parts of the building, etc.
Exhausted at the end of each day and my step count was through the roof.

Sales in a field that at least moderately interests him. He will have to work on his empathy and EQ, but that might come with age and maturity.

That profile would make a great teacher. It is regimented and structured enough to help with my adhd but gives me the flexibility to be creative and run off on tangents. I rarely sit down except for around 45 minutes a day while I grade or lesson plan. I teach high school math so I work my brain and socialize all day with students. Many of my colleagues coach teams to get the athletic piece in too.
