"However, they're not going to assume that because someone juggled exceptionally well that they'd do an equally good job at construction."
That's because construction work is a very large field and honestly resurfacing cement doesn't translate very well to juggling.
Now find a construction job that requires working under stress, lots of attention on you, attention to detail, focus on quality, able to repeatedly meet goals and deadlines, maybe a popular analogy with juggling...
How about general contractor? A guy like him has the brain to be a legendary GC, no marketing BS required. If he can twist his brain into using his eyes and mouth to keep 20 subs on track out of each others way, working multiple subprojects and tasks in the correct complicated order and on time instead of using his arms to throw things, I'd pay him a multiple of a typical GC because he would net save me time and money. On a big job, he could be extremely financially valuable, which could be very rewarding to him.
Or if he's not set up financially / people skills wise to be a GC then his legendary coordination and planning skills would make him an awesome heavy equipment operator. I've seen what a truly good crane op can do, and he could be one of the best. One of those guys who works the machine at full speed yet perfectly smooth and 1/4 inch accurate.
Not seeing how troweling cement makes best use of his unusual skills. Then again, if he likes what he's doing, he wins.
