FULL STORY: When people discuss career paths, there’s usually a lot of talk about educational requirements . . . personal interests . . . job satisfaction . . . job availability . . . lifestyle fits . . . and money, of course.
But another important factor is: Do you like . . . people?
There’s a thread online where people are suggesting jobs that are perfect for people who DON’T like people. Here are a few of them:
1. Power plant operator . . . “Most of it is sitting in a room at a control panel that auto-fixes itself 99% of the time.”
2. Some kinds of doctors . . . like a pathologist and a morgue doctor.
3. Lighthouse keepers.
4. Any job that allows you to wear earphones while working.
5. Night-shift security guard at a museum . . . It might not sound exciting, but they’ve made movies about this sort of thing.
6. Baker . . . “The only con is you have to wake up early.”
7. Commercial truck driver . . . “Driving is as lonely as you want it to be.”
8. Radiologist . . . “Sit comfortably in a darkened room all day by yourself with the occasional physician question, or brief phone call to relay a critical result.”
9. Some areas of horticulture, like plant production and being an arborist.
10. Welder . . . This person added, “Most welders hate people. I am a welder myself, which is how I know.” Another person added, “I’m a welding inspector, I believe welders are the reason I can’t stand people.”
11. Locomotive Engineer.
12. Handcrafted soap maker.
13. After-hours commercial cleaner.
14. Some took the “hating people” thing literally . . . suggesting careers in HR and insurance, which can involve making other people’s lives more difficult.
15. Assassin.
