Where would we all be without people like Albert Einstein or Abraham Lincoln? Introverts certainly don’t get the credit they deserve! Now, there is nothing wrong with people that are more extroverted but there is a reason we were all created differently. We all have different things to offer the world and that is something to be proud of. Read on to find out 20 good paying jobs for people who don’t like people.
These salaries may vary depending on the area you’re located in, your experience, and if you are working part time or full time.
1.Postal Worker – $56k
What a relaxing job this would be! Did you know postal workers don’t have to go to college to land the job? Nope, but you do need to pass their postal exam. Here is a practice test if you think this job would be something you are interested in doing.
2.Blogger – $19k- $79k+
Blogging is not necessarily a new career path, but it certainly has been getting a lot more attention lately. And why wouldn’t it when so many people are making crazy amounts of money from the luxury of their own homes AND you can work whenever you want!
I was making money in about three months after starting my blog and was making $2300 a month in just seven months. After I did a bit of research and saw the people who were making money from blogging with no prior experience or college degree, I thought why not me too? I am so glad I started my blog last year. Now I can work from home and spend more time with the people who matter most to me. Learn how you can start your own blog here.
3.Social Media Manager/ Virtual Assistant – $22k-$61k
Here is another career path that allows you to work from anywhere. Many companies, celebrities, and bloggers have virtual assistants and social media managers so they can focus on other areas of their business.
4.Photographer – 31k
There are so many ways that photographers can make money these days. From taking pictures of families to selling stock photos, the social interaction involved here is very minimal.
5.Animal Worker/ Trainer – 24k-36k
Many people prefer being in the company of animals over human beings. While some people may mock this mentality, the fact remains that animals don’t bring unnecessary drama into your life like people can.
6.Online Teacher/Professor – 46k
You will need a degree to work for a college but you could also work independently. Do you have a skill that you can teach? Creating and selling courses is a great way to make money these days.
7.Writer – 60k+
Do you love to write but feel there is no money in it? That couldn’t be further from the truth! Many people are making a living (and some are getting rich) off of selling ebooks. It’s much easier than landing a book deal from a major publisher and you get to keep a larger percentage of the profit.

I’m sorry, I grew up with Letter Carriers, and had friends who also were– It’s one of the most stressful jobs possibly ever. It’s brutal on scheduling, bureaucracy, management. (There’s a position outside management that just exists to make post master’s cry.) While there are people who do appreciate their carriers–apparently it’s the best part of the job–others are vicious. You’ll also be expected to cooperate with law enforcement if they’re up to something illegal. This is NOT a relaxing job!
(although it is important. I love the post office institution, and it could be great. it’s just run by idiots right now)
Hey, Thea! That sounds terrible. It seems like such a pleasant job. Everything has it’s issues though, of course. Do you think it varies among different areas? Maybe not everywhere is so bad. And I would think supporting law enforcement would be the right thing to do. Could you clear up what you mean by them doing something illegal?
