Jobs that DO NOT deal with people...(or often)

[OF 'til I OD]

I really can't stand dealing with people all day (retail), so what are some jobs that don't deal with people?

I'm thinking of going into accounting in College, and while you deal with people, it's rare, and you mainly just do your work...and don't have people bothering you (not customers or anything, anyway).

Thanks in advance.

Go for it.

Sadly, you won't find many jobs that pay well and don't deal with people. I do graphic design and I have to deal with stupid **** with just ONE person, I'm kinda worried if I get more people which is my plan in the fall. My school job requires constant dealing with people, but it is very easy to ignore them.

My major, English, requires a good bit of work with people in some aspect. Music, my true goal and passion in life, is basically based on people. So you have to get used to it.

I work in a cubicle for SkyWest Airlines. I talk to the people in the cubicles next to me and send out emails to every major city in the US, but it's not actually dealing with customers like retail.

I think that if I got paid for this job (I'm an intern for college credit), I'd get something around 15 bucks an hour. It's nothing you could live off of forever, but it'd be great for a college job.

So yeah. Go for the airline industry. You get free flights, too.

Philosopher. Starting wages are low, though, but you can work your way up.

Try getting a manufacturing or warehouse job or something. You're around people, yeah, but you don't have to "deal" with them as they're coworkers, not customers who feel like they're entitled to ****.

There's also a lot of stores that'll be open for a long time without any customers, though those jobs are hard to find and not secure. But you can basically get paid to do your homework or **** around.

I've always thought being a dentist would perfect for people who dont like chatting with dumb customers.

"Open wide."

And they cant say a thing. Also, you have electric tools to punish them if they do.

 

[Crimson King]

Xsyven, what would be required to get a job like that? College degree?

How about Car Wrangler at a SuperMarket/Department Store.

starving artist, park ranger, writing of some sort, something in IT, etc etc

Try your hand at an internet business. Dunno, if you own a popular website, try Google AdSense and you may make a living off of that. Very far-fetched, but still...

I understand entirely. It's people like my Grandma that make me NOT want to deal with people at restaraunts and stores.

One of those people on those annoying commericials that work at home from their computers, perhaps? If that doesn't work out, try some type of business associate who just sits there and types all day. Better than meeting with annoying people, I say.

You will not be successful in life unless you follow these two things:
1. Be edjookeated.
2. Know HOW to deal with people.(Streetsmarts?)


Face it people are everywhere and no one is going to hire you unless you can cooperate with your Co-workers and your clients. If you lack the experience with other people(especially in work) you will fail at life.

Manufacturing.

Or at least not so much.

Crimson King, I'm just doing an internship there this summer, between my Freshman and Junior year of college, and I'm expected to be hired after I'm done with the internship-- so I'm guessing no more than a High School degree.

As far as my specific airlines in your area, (I think I remember you saying you were from Loisianna or something?), I don't think we have an office there. But if you want to, check out SkyWest.com and see of they're offering jobs near you. If we're not, check out other airlines that are available at your airport (United, Delta, Etc...) and look for jobs in their offices.

Author. Write books, sell them online and at bookstores. You won't have to do the dirty work of dealing with the people that buy your books, the bookstore does.

Yeah, but becoming an author means starting out rough unless you're a prodigy. If you become an excellent author, the amount of money you recieve per year can double.

Starting wages are usually around 30,000 a year, but like I said, this amount doubles with experience and the value of your books. So you can make somewhere around 60,000 a year. Then there are rare cases where you may become a famous writer or write for a famous magazine or whatever so you could make about 100,000 a year.

It always helps to have a second job if you're a writer. I know all this stuff because I want to be one.

Oh, and it is highly unlikely that you'll make 60,000-100,000 without extensive experience. You would need at least a good ten years or so worth of experience before you can get your wages that high.
