10 Jobs For Introverts
Not everyone is cut out to be an aggressive sales person or advertising executive. Certain jobs require certain personalities because not every one will end up on TV or speaking in a courtroom full of people and a judge.Introverts have a place in the corporate world too. The best thing you can do for your self is finding a job but its even better to find a job that makes you happy and you are passionate about. Here’s a list for introverts with a passion.
1. Elevator Installer And Repairer
As you can guess, their job is to use tools to fix and maintain elevators. They also work with escalators, moving walkways, and other lifts as well. Although these guys work in a team, the work itself is done by a single person when called to do repairs, giving these professionals a good sense of independence.
2. Financial Analyst
A financial analyst’s duties revolve around evaluation of different data, including business trends, financial statements, and stocks and bonds. They’ll also end up doing some writing in the form of financial reports. Most interaction in this career is done through period chats with investors. Other than that, analysts spend most of their time doing the aforementioned evaluation work.
3. Biochemist And Biophysicist
Those in this field rely on computer and medical technology to do research. They study the effects of drugs, analyze DNA, and present reports based on those findings to their colleagues and other scientists. This career also has applications in fields such as agriculture, where scientists figure out how to modify crops to be more resilient to disease and harsh weather. Biochemists/biophysicists usually work in team settings, but the actual research process requires plenty of working and thinking alone.
4. Materials Engineer
These guys study and develop the materials used to make lots of different products. A few of those materials are ceramics, plastics, metals, and so on. They do a lot of work with computers and design equipment, and usually work in offices, factories, or lab settings. Due to the extensive material analysis needed in this job, it’s great for those who really love their alone time.
5. Marine Engineer And Naval Architect
This career is all about creating and maintaining all kinds of ships and submarines. Marine engineers also conduct inspections of marine equipment and create technical reports as well. To do this, they use computer software for research and planning purposes. Because of all that research and planning, this job is great for those who like to do independent work in between interactions.
6. Geoscientist, Except Hydrologists And Geographers
Geoscientists do as much field work as they do lab work. What they do is conduct field studies, where perhaps they’ll collect rock samples using hammers and drills, and then study it in a lab using microscopes and x-ray machines. They take those findings and create maps, scientific reports, and so on. As with any science, the research will require you to be alone for periods at a time. Also, geoscientists sometimes have to travel to remote destinations for weeks or months at a time (such as to research ships in the middle of the ocean), so a little introversion can really come in handy useful.
7. Actuary
Actuaries use a variety of skills (math, stats, and finance theory) to assess risk and uncertainty to help make insurance policies. There’s a lot of number crunching involved in doing all the stats analysis and probability work. You’d also have to present this work in the form of charts and tables, and it should be done in an easy to understand manner. This career requires you meet with clients and collaborate with others sometimes, but overall you’ll be conducting research and doing math by yourself the majority of the time.
8. Mathematician
Mathematicians use their understanding of math to solve real life problems. A career in math holds lots of opportunity since so many fields require math on some level. So computers, business, science… All are fields that can use a mathematician, which is great. Mathematicians are all about research and analysis. Naturally this means that they’ll need a lot of alone time to get any real work done.
9. Political Scientist
The job of political scientists is to study how political systems work. This includes government policies and their effects on businesses, how governments of different nations interact, and analyzing data from public opinion surveys. This info is compiled into written reports and presented to others. All this political research requires a lot of alone time, making it ideal for the everyday introvert.
10. Physicist Or Astronomer
These guys study the ways of the universe and help develop models to better explain what we know about it. They use all sorts of tools to study and conduct research, such as; radios, microscopes, lasers, and even the Hubble Space Telescope. Their work is very complex, often requiring a Ph. D. to get a job in this research heavy field. As a research heavy field, you’re going to need to patience and alone time to make your work great.
