Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone here has some good suggestions and advice for a well paying suitable career for a quiet, shy and introverted woman? A career that most quiet, shy and introverted women can excel at. Good pay meaning- can typically start out at $50,000 a yr and preferably not need to obtain higher than a 4 year degree, so a Bachelors degree.


Thanks in advance.

Nope. Besides the long, odd hours, you will have to interact with patients all of the time. Not to mention you must have a strong stomach for all of the illnesses these folks will have.

No there not. That's just the stereotype. Most are the frat sorority type from big state schools. Very outgoing and personable. There are no jobs in the corporate setting that are good for shy introverts.

Well I just gave those options because I know a lot of introverted types in those fields.

I was going to say projectionist, but with everything going to hard drives that isn't so much an option anymore (and I doubt they pay good).

Data technician, they usually reformat data and then place it into archives, they usually work alone and are often busy.

Janitors are usually quiet, again not probably something you want to pursue.

It seems like jobs that are single-tasked and background are what you are looking for, but those jobs probably do not pay well and seem boring.

I've never met an accountant that WASN'T shy and introverted and I know MANY. Granted, at my age, I'm not having out with the fresh out of college crowd seeing as if my child is almost fresh out of college.

Ya. Probably the ones who stay in it for the long term are more introverted.
