Lazy + Smart = ?

  Today I have been thinking about a character for my story, and I have been debating with myself as to what type of job he should be doing. His personality is as follows: he is lazy, but has a very high intellect and is especially good at planning and creating strategies for about everything. Now, I have a few options for his career. The first one is a very common job found in stories; he's a businessman. His intellect would be very favorable for creating business plans to help the company profit. But then again, he's lazy, so he would be procrastinating a lot (which may get him fired). Option two is a private investigator. I believe that this one is the best option. His smart mind will be able to help him in investigations and related jobs, and even though he's lazy, he will have time to rest between jobs (and he can decide whether or not he wants to accept a job). The last option is similar to the second one. He's a policeman. But the cons are that he's lazy, and being a policeman means that he has to be at work on time. So I guess option two is the best. I'm still deciding.
  I also have to take into consideration that his girlfriend is a fashion line designer, along with his girlfriend's best friend. In my story, this character's job must be able to help his girlfriend in some way, but I don't know in what way. If he's an investigator, then maybe he will help his girlfriend's best friend with investigating something about the male protagonist (this character isn't the main character). I guess I'll have to work it out.
