Q & A: Specific Jobs for Non-People People (Supplemental)
Earlier
today, we answered a question from a reader who doesn't like working
with people. The reader wanted to know what kind of work she could
find that doesn't have a lot of public contact - or even contact with
co-workers. If you're not a people person, you may want to check out
that earlier post, too.
There are a number of jobs that are tailor-made for people who would rather work alone (or at least not with a lot of people), such as:
Accountant.
Your crunch numbers instead of talking to people.
Data
entry. You deal with a lot of information. People? Not so much.
Freelance
writer. You may need to speak with people, but most of your time is
spent finding work, researching, writing and re-writing.
Flip
houses or cars. Buy stuff, fix them and have someone else sell them
at a high profit.
Work
with animals. If dealing with people doesn't tickle you, working
with animals might.
Handyperson.
You'll only have to deal with customers to pitch your work and
receive payment. Other than that, you're left alone to complete odd
jobs.
Painter.
Same benefits as a handyman, only more specialized.
Artist.
You're alone. You paint. You sell your work online or at sales
conducted by other people.
Telemarketer.
You'll have to talk to people - a lot
of people - but it's something you can do from home to minimize
actual contact with customers and co-workers.
