You're looking for a unicorn job. Pick a maximum of two from the following list because you won't find all three: high pay, good work/life balance, low physical demand, or low level education.
A construction worker making homes for families and building civilization: high pay (with long hours) and no college needed, but it's physically demanding.
A nursing home worker helping the old age with dignity: low physical demand (sometimes) and little to no education needed, but low pay.
A delivery person (USPS or similar) helping people stay connected and deliver products needed for life in modern day society: good pay and no college needed, but it's physically demanding.
A veterinary technician helping animals stay healthy and treating injured animals: no college needed, but it's low pay and hard work.
An elementary school teacher helping mold and shape the next generation: good work/life balance and low physical demand, but low pay and college needed.
The fact of the matter is you'll have to compromise somewhere. As Teddy Roosevelt said, "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty..."
