Best jobs for those of the "anti-social" persuasion?

Question

I've really struggled with finding (and not quitting) jobs within the past 3 years. I've done everything from working with children with special disabilities to working at a call center. More recently I've found it difficult to stay at a job for more than a month. I find myself dreading going into work so much that my anxiety seeps into other parts of my life. I don't mind school, but for some reason I can't just bite the bullet like everyone else and get a job. Any suggestions? Am I just looking for jobs that aren't suited for my personality?

Answer 1

Restaurant kitchens are said to be a haven for the anti-social.

Answer 2

Definitely try working from home. I work from home and it really is the way to go.

There is a booklet available on the site below (No. 6 on the list) and it may give you a few ideas to start you off.  Also join their mailing list as there are always offers coming up.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

I'm going through therapy because I'm 28 and can't keep a job.  They also have anxeity meds.  Unfortunetly, unless you own your own buisness there's no real way to avoid dealing with people.  Trust me, I'm not be a smart alec, the therapy and medication really help me.  Call around and see if any psychicatrists do things on a sliding scale if you're worried about money.  There's lots of help out there.  Good luck.

Answer 4

Oh wow I could have written this myself! I am a job-hopper for sure and have found I am always looking for jobs that involve customer service and I am not really a people person. Maybe you could try something that doesn't involve working with many people like a data-entry job or a job that has to do with computers. Good luck!

Answer 5

You sound so like my 23 yo daughter, just what she was saying to me the other day, word for word!  That said,  what about mail carrier especially rural carrier.
