Here’s how to combine your two biggest interests: making money and NOT talking to people.
Social Media Manager
Working as a social media manager isn't just getting paid to post on Facebook; it's a demanding full time job that will allow you to focus most of your energy on the virtual world, which can be a relief for introverts. “While it may seem contradictory, being a social media manager is a good option for introverts that can write," says Rich Milgram, CEO of online career network Beyond.com. "You can interact with thousands – and possibly millions – of people each day without having to see them in person. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Animal Care Worker
If you'd rather spend your time hanging out with cute animals than people, CareerCast.com suggests looking into a career in the animal care and service industry: think veterinary technician, staffer at an animal rescue organization or even — OMG — zookeeper.

Corporate Accounting
Being knee-deep in numbers all day might sound like heaven if you'd rather die than spend hours in meetings. "With corporate tax accounting, the position is very cerebral, investigative and research-oriented. It’s an introvert’s paradise," says Frank Green, president of the Atlanta-based staffing firm ExecuSource. "You don’t have to deal with anyone as facts are facts. You can’t argue with tax codes."

Software Developer
Not only can you make mega-bucks as a programmer — on average about $90,000 a year — but the nature of your job requires hours of solitude that allow you to produce meticulous work. You'll need to have a bachelor's degree in computer science and/or strong programming skills.
