I am willing to work with my hands but there are some jobs I may just not be able to do.
After finishing college, I found out two things. I am not really picky about what jobs I want as long as I don't work in an office or serve food.
I had a couple of part time jobs while I was in college. Officer jobs were never fulfilling for me.
I also did not enjoy working with food either.

Small electronics repair comes to mind. You'd probably never have to lift anything larger than a computer console. Simply learning electronics would be a great asset--then you could limit your work to smaller items.

Your first step is to understand and be able to explain what you mean by 'not physically strong'. It's important to get this straight, because when you talk to an employer eg. apply for a job, they will want to know what you can do, and what you can't do.
You don't have to be super fit to do many trades, but of course you do need to be able to be on your feet, bending and kneeling,up a ladder, handling tools, lifting and moving building materials etc, etcI think you should do some research into different trades, so that you can see what the work involves, the experience, skills and training you need to get into them.One thing I would add- it can be hard to really make a go of this kind of work without a driving licence, as often the work is in different locations and you will have to carry tools. But some companies provide transport for labourers.

dont be that 99lb weakling on the beach! stand up for yourself!
In any trade you need to be as durable as the trade requires or you will be unhappy and unable to do the job.
I suggest hiring a 'man' as an aid if you feel or know you might fall through physically.
whats wrong with tradesmen hiring labour? its common practice. I only said "man" cause batman had one, alfred.
snicker, notice the females consider mechanical assistance valid in the "trades".

Maybe a career in printing. While much of the work has shifted to electronic means, there are still career paths in print shops and book binderies.
