Sales? I have a couple of friends who were educated as computer engineers, but like you coding was not their preference. They coded a bit in their junior years and then transitioned into sales and both now lead sales teams at Google and seem happy. It does appear (to me), as a higher pressure environment, especially when you are "paying your dues" early on. But that's just my impression as someone that would not be comfortable in a role like that.
