First of all, you're already way ahead of most people, being able to talk on the phone for 8 hours a day. That opens up a whole host of jobs you could do that involve human interaction (but no scripts).
I'll second what AspE said about the entrepreneurship... It sounds like you may be one of the people who could make it work. Your boredom at your current job is evidence of a creative mind that wants to expand.
Another thing you could consider is how long you spend sitting down. I hit a breakthrough in my career when I realised I'm not the kind of person who's happy sitting still all day long and that maybe no-one is. I realise how much hope there is in movement. Now I know why I preferred cleaning jobs and newspaper deliveries to admin or teaching.
RF scanning is getting pretty big nowadays - you could look into that. It's what they do in those big warehouses like Amazon where people put their orders in and a bunch of young, hip people run around with scanners collecting the goods and prepping them for delivery. I'm not saying it will be extraordinarily more scintillating than answering phones, but the fact you'll be walking around most of the day in a funky warehouse and spending lots of time hunting shelf numbers and away from the chatter of other humans may give you the brain space you need to work on your own ideas. And it's not as if it's an ex-con job either; you could pick a place that doesn't hire meth addicts.
One thing I know, you will definitely have an awesome career. I've had that same despairing feeling of meaningless drudgery, and I know there is light at the end of the tunnel. If a nincompoop like me who couldn't talk to people on the phone for 1 hour a day let alone 8 can mark out a positive trajectory, you certainly will. Don't give up.
