If by non-technical you mean non-IT, then... the majority of jobs? :-)

Plumber, electrician, mechanic, more or less specialized repairman, construction, plant operator, retail. Many of these can pay well as long as you gain experience and are willing to put in the hours. On the less "sweaty" side, many marketing and creative jobs (photography, videomaking, design, etc).

Since you'll have to spend a lifetime at it, what is it that you actually enjoy doing?

I was interested in IT the most but I wanted to keep my options open with non-IT, like a desk job. A job in marketing, human resources, recruitment...could work but I think you need a college degree for those.
