I fell for the S.T.E.M. meme and got a degree in computer networking (sysadmin stuff, not twitter).
I'm good at it, but I hate it.
I don't care about the pay. I don't want to do this for the rest of my life, but I also don't want to throw away all my knowledge on the subject.
Does anyone know of any jobs that require high technical knowledge but don't force you to look at a screen all day?
I was thinking of going back to school and getting a bachelors in management.
Maybe be a middle manager for something tech related.
Any ideas?

That's a good way to continue staring at a screen all day, anon.
You'll just be looking at spreadsheets and Powerpoint decks instead of code.
Only way to avoid spending your day in front of a screen is either in academia (some fields only) or going blue collar.

Tech consulting would be more up your alley. Gotta deal with people though.
Leverage your knowledge and you can do a lot more than you think.

technical sales and outside sales. ie. selling IT consulting services, complex software suites to businesses, etc.
but you'll probably still start off staring at a screen all day in inside sales.

I'm somewhat ok with that.

I'm awful at selling things. To logical, I suck at appealing to emotion.

"In management, information technology consulting (also called IT consulting, computer consultancy, business and technology services, computing consultancy, technology consulting, and IT advisory) as a field of activity focuses on advising organizations on how best to use information technology (IT) in achieving their business objectives. In addition to providing advice, IT consultancies often estimate, manage, implement, deploy, and administer IT systems on behalf of their client organizations - a practice known as "outsourcing"."
Basically a client comes to for your firm for their expertise.
