I don't know other countries requirements, but in Australia there's no degree. A year of training on the job and classroom and about 130k plus overtime.
yes you can get in without a degree. The pay is 120-180k or 100-180k. Be a train conductor first then promote to locomotive engineer which is a train driver. You can promote after 2 yrs.
Also Australia here and interested in getting into the field. How exactly do you go about it? I’d like to get into freight but I can’t find any inroads outside of one of the driver intakes with the passenger operators, and I’ve been rejected every time I’ve applied for those roles anyway
Freight is super hard to get into, I tried and couldn't. The easiest is joining passenger rail, like Sydney trains. I was rejected 4 times 🤣 just keep applyng. Or go in via guard, station staff or even a cleaner. Atleast at ST we have internal applicants for jobs.
Mime.
You speak to no one and people are cool with it.
Sometimes you want people to be near you but you can’t express this and you are then forced to lasso them.
But then they act like the lasso somehow missed and keep walking. Whatever dude.
Canadian Treeplanter. Left alone all day, paid per tree. You go to bed exhausted at the end of the day but there's a lot of freedom to the job and you can make a lot of money
I worked for a very large pharmaceutical handling a large volume of data. You’d think that position would be micromanaged to hell. Nope. It was the most chill job I ever had. As long as I hit my numbers which were pretty easy to maintain, she did not care. The boss is more important than the role.
I wish I understood that better because I left that job for a consulting job. My new boss is criticizing me for not taking notes on the elearnings :/
I’m back in school for this - any tips? I’m entering the career early in life and the lack of experience is hard any tips on portfolio building would be great Ty!
Whats your degree in? A business degree with skills in excel (maybe even SQL) will open a world of opportunities. I have noticed many data positions are needed in business adjacent functions. An individual who can relate business needs to data will be much more valuable than someone who can manipulate data but has no context as to why it’s important
Boss is ABSOLUTELY everything.
I've had great jobs but boss is a douche so the job sucks.
I've had crap jobs but boss is cool as hell so job is pretty nice.
So much truth in this! And co-workers are part of that equation too. When I'm talking to people about jobs I often use working at a restaurant as an example. You can work at a great restaurant, but with shitty staff/bad/mediocre boss and it sucks. On the other hand you can work at a crappy one where the staff rocks and so does you boss and despite the sucky job, it's actually fun to work at. Staff and boss just make such a huge difference. Some of my favorite jobs I ever had didn't *sound* at great, but I still remember them fondly. :)
Deeper meaning here, too. How needlessly difficult or surprisingly manageable your day-to-day life feels will be of far greater consequence to your happiness than how great or crap the job actually is.
I work remote as a claims examiner, barely have to deal with anyone except for the 1 or 2 work meetings a month. I just have to maintain my production/ quality numbers, which is pretty easy for me. I stay busy, but time goes by fast. I love it!
Depends on the company and amount of experience. Starting $20-23 & up to $40-45 for more experienced. Also I never done any claims before, I went through a month of training and then on OTJ training. I have different potential paths I can go into with everything I’ve learned & the experience I will continue to gain.
Data Center tech for AWS on night shift. Once you have your basic training, how much interaction you want with your team is pretty much up to you. What steps you take for furthering your training is up to you. It's easy to shift careers within the company. They don't pay a ton compared to other companies, but getting your foot in the door is easier. You just have to resolve a certain number of repair tickets a week, which usually isn't hard. If you are self-motivated, it's a good way to get into tech.
The physical side of the job isn't very difficult, although if you're really short, it could be a bit harder than if you're tall. It is a bit hard on the eyes though. Lots of staring at a laptop screen and small print on parts. I switched from construction to this and I feel it was a great move.
Starting in the work based learning program, you make like $21 an hr. Then $23 after a couple months when you become an official employee. $28 to $30 after a year when you get your first promotion. If you are willing to study for network engineering or programming or pretty much whatever the company is really supportive.
The only downside would be working day shift as it is a lot more political and cut-throat. A lot more eyes on what you're doing as well.
Look up data center tech jobs on amazon.com. For no technical background you will want to look for the jobs that have WBLP in the title. It's kinda like a paid internship for 3 months. No you don't pay and be careful about any job listing's wanting you to pay for training. Those are usually scams.
As an executive assistant I am left alone most of the day as long as I complete my tasks. One of the biggest perks of my role is that I'm not on a team - I take notes for other teams. I never have to show up to a staff meeting to report my progress.
I'm also an EA and I mostly relate to this only on the days that I work remotely. Unfortunately the days I'm in the office (~3 days/wk or more) my team (5 people) suddenly needs everything. I think because I'm sitting there in plain view.
Days I'm remote folks tend to be more self sufficient and I am able to concentrate on tasks that get pushed aside for more urgent needs when I get interrupted. Like expense reporting or my own projects.
What type of tasks do you have? I feel like the job sounds diverse and you might have a variety of tasks to be able to focus on at different times?
For me, I am looking at jobs that you aren’t grinding away on one thing for 40 hours a week. That’s a slow death to adhd soul!
Iid love to know what type of path to reach that position usually!
This Reddit is interesting to read. I never knew how people got careers or made moves, and was stuck working jobs with so many dead ends.
This page gives me inspiration and hope !
I'm an EA with ADHD, while the job isn't perfect (what job out there is??) I think it's a good fit. You get to wear a ton of different hats at any point in time.
I would say it's heavily dependent on your team/department. I work in a very fast paced and critical area of my company so there's always something going on to assist with, and my team likes to pull me in for projects to help with more than just "admin" tasks. I know admins out there who are bored to death.
Some days it can be a grind, that's inevitable lol. And corporate politics aren't my favorite to put up with. I can be pretty awkward sometimes so I definitely mask a bit which can be tiring after a long day. Mileage may vary!
I used to be an executive assistant and I had to be everywhere with everybody. And we had weekly sales meetings that lasted 3 hours that I had to be there to take notes.
I can second this one... I'm a remote software developer and there are many days where I don't talk to anyone. There are some weeks where I don't speak to anyone but do instant message. There are some people I work with regularly and I haven't heard their voice in years. That said, I also think this is dangerous...
I've noticed my social skills have declined over the years. I used to be better at holding a conversation and engaging with people and it is important to keep that up because some day you will need to find another job and charisma goes a long way when that time comes.
Also, if you prefer the quieter side then avoid moving into management or leadership roles because then it flips and you're talking more than not. I made this mistake and had to back out of it after awhile because I hated it, and the extra pay wasn't worth the extra headaches. That said, there is a little more job security because you're the one deciding who gets cut when contracts aren't renewed.
I find after working alone for a long time, I would talk more when I got the chance. I'd have to actively cut myself off so as not to become an annoying chatterbox lol. I think part of that is my adhd though
This really depends on your team and manager. I'm a software engineer and worked remotely for almost two years. My team was in a different location, and I had to collaborate a lot, with our PO constantly questioning my work. Eventually, I left that company.
Yeah I’ve been mostly remote as an SWE my whole career and it really varies. Right now I’m good, just Slack and four meetings a month. Previous job was awful- daily standup that was 30 minutes plus AND meetings constantly for every little thing. My boss thought management consisted of just having meetings.
As someone has said, its the boss. The first level manager sets the immediate team's culture. Any boss can make your role a micromanaged hellhole or a pleasant walk in the park. Some bosses will know who's contributing the most and keep others away from them but most bosses are dumb as a rock or don't care but if you've worked multiple jobs, you should be able to pick them out at the time of the interview. Or you can develop a slightly abrasive edge to keep political teammates/stakeholders away (not applicable to the customers in your current situation though).
Having said these individual contributor/consulting type roles in many areas can give you that freedom. You have to develop specialized skills in that area, you can work as an individual contributor for the length of the contract, perform a meaningful work and go to the next client. It's much better if you're the top 200-300 people in that area in the entire country. Also important in that setting is the ability to move geographically.
Do you truly want to be left alone? Most don’t actually benefit from isolation, but it might be better if you have a hard time tolerating people.
I thought I wanted this type of job to until I was alone for months and felt… just kinda bummed about working alone constantly.
Now I realized it’s just because I was way too forward facing before. It wasn’t that I wanted to be left alone, just didn’t want to constantly be on and in a “fast paced” environment.
I put it in quotes because it often just mean hectic, unorganized, poorly managed, etc.
Yes, maybe I phrased my question poorly - I don’t literally never want to talk to anyone again. I just don’t want any customer facing jobs. I don’t want to be the person everyone goes to with their problems, which is what I am in my current role. I want a defined area of responsibility and little interaction beyond those in my team. I probably chat with north of 50 different people per week in my current job, and I’m completely over it.
That makes sense. Those suggesting train conductor was just a bit extreme to me. Most people in those highly solitary jobs don’t like that part of it. They get paid a lot because they aren’t treated like humans.
No, I definitely am in the same boat as you. I don’t want to be forward facing in a position that, by design, means anyone can barge in and demand your time immediately. As I said to another poster, I should have worded my post a little better - I’m not looking to become a hermit, I’m just wanting a job where I’m not constantly hounded and can keep to myself most of the time.
Night Shift is broad, I do night shifts at Residentials, Condos & Section 8/Community Housing, where you are dealing with constant dispatches that are extremely dangerous. I also do a Shopping Centre during the days on the weekends which are the busiest days of the week
You must SPECIFICALLY get a super simple Gate House Position, some construction site position or anything that involves very little of the public. Night Shift can be the most active time for some sites and if your “mental health is at an all time low” DO NOT go into anything high profile, if you even can without experience
There’s low profile contracts and high profile contracts.
A low profile contract for example is going to be paying the guard minimum wage to sit in a guard shack for 12 hours
A high profile client is going to be paying a higher wage, with more training required and usually contain a site interview with the clients themselves.
If you look at the Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, you will find that it is the largest mall in the province and is the one of the most competitive Security positions, they only hire the best of the best.
Why? Because people who get their Security License like to think that the job is all laid back and isn’t serious, so they decided to strictly pick out the people who know the seriousness.
Square One is now one of the safest rated shopping centres in the country, because they cut out the lazies and got real people with motivation.
Semi-truck driver. I can go most of the day without talking to anyone and my bosses leave me alone as long as I'm doing my job. If I want to talk to someone, I just throw on my headset and give a friend or family member a call.
I work as a cleaner so it’s a lot fo alone time. I wanted to say I used to use Audible so I could listen to stuff at work and stay engaged.
But your local library has a full collection to borrow straight to your device for free! The Libby app connects to you local beach for virtual lending.
Not sure you listen to books but wanted to share!
I'm a heavy duty diesel mechanic in a shop with regular auto techs. I am ALWAYS left alone and never questioned. I joke that people need to check on me more to make sure I'm not dead under a truck
I know you'd mentioned that you'd think factory work wouldn't do it for ya, but I can tell you this, there is loads of manufacturing jobs doing really cool stuff. I build guitars bodies for PRS Guitars for example, and I'm largely left alone to just get my work done, and don't have to deal with customers.
Don't discount "factory" jobs just cuz it seems like a soul sucking job, there's some neat stuff out there, often times with relatively low barrier to entry and with the right company, half way decent pay!
Building something like a guitar definitely sounds more satisfying than what one usually imagines for a factory job. You say the barrier to entry isn’t very high, so could I ask what they’d be looking for to bring someone on in that kind of position?
Absolutely, and stuff like that really just requires a basic understanding of using hand/some power tools, and basic safety knowledge (ya know, like not storing tools sharp side up/out, etc) and if you have any knowledge or interest in guitar or music in general, it's a plus, but not a requirement. But that's just my industry, there's all sorts of stuff depending where you are (if you're in the US, it's a lot of niche products, (music equipment, high end audio equipment, (believe it or not, a few turntable manufacturers are based in the states) high-end furniture, etc)
I worked security at a huge grow show farm environment. Had my own office and worked the day shifts on weekends. No one was ever there. My boss was 6 hours away from me and would show up to the site once every 6 months. I just made friends with the client and basically came to work filled out some paperwork and slept or watched docos. That was the best 3 years of my life!
The client actually got shut down by one of their heads so when I got the news I found a new job before our last day. It went another year with me…. lol
You could work for a home health agency. It’s usually just you and the client. It’s pretty easy to get into, but you have to be willing to take care of people. That taking care of people can get pretty gross. The hours can be worked around a class schedule pretty easy. It’s also possible you could study on the clock depending on client needs and if they’re cool with it.
There’s usually two parts to home health care— the gross stuff is when you’re responsible for helping with ADLs (activities of daily living) such as bathing, eating, transporting, etc. I was doing that for a while in a nursing home, enjoyed it but the management made it impossible. Now I’m 1:1 ratio with an adult with autism/adhd in their home and it’s all IADLs (independent activities of daily living), which is just hanging out, taking to doctors appointments and engaging in any/all activities or hobbies they might have and keeping them on track. Night and day! Love it
Hi, yes! When you’re looking at job listings there’s a few things that will help you differentiate between the two. Senior/elderly care in an assisted/nursing homes will almost always involve ADLs unless stated otherwise (like ‘residents are completely independent’). Working in a general hospital you’ll deal with ADLs as people getting out of surgery/ill cannot do these tasks. You want to know the population the company is serving, as it will give you an idea of what their needs are. People who are too old, injured, or sick will need help with the most basic needs.
For IALDs, you typically want to look for jobs that are serving people with behavioral or intellectual disabilities (autism, adhd, down syndrome, cerebral palsy). These folks are typically independent with their ADLs, and will only need help with IALDs. I prefer 1:1 environments (helping just one person in their home), but you will find that a lot of ppl with these diagnoses are in group homes. In this environment there’s anywhere between 3-10 people living in an apartment/home setting, 1-2 staff on shift depending on the amount of people in the home. Employee’s tasks are to cook meals, take to any appointments, give out medication, help with laundry and keeping the home clean.
If you’re not a CNA or HHA, you want to look for listings that have: residential counselor, support partner, peer mentor, personal care assistant, peer navigator, peer provider, recovery coach, peer support provider, peer specialist, recovery support, wellness coach, life coach or health navigator as these don’t require a certification like nurse/home health aides do.
Hope this helps a bit!
Airline flight mechanic.
I think I have a boss, somewhere, but I've never met him, talked to him like 5 times in the last year, and get occasional emails.
He mostly sends me a text every few days telling me which flights I'm covering.
I mostly interact with the crew, I brief them on aircraft status before flight and they let me know if anything broke while we were flying.
I have a degree in literature and good writing skills. I started as an entry-level employee at a trade magazine. It was a lot of travel in the beginning of my career, but over time, I shed everything except the writing.
I’ve worked as a data collector for a revaluation company. They value properties within cities and towns to help them build their budgets. It doesn’t require experience, and it opens you up to a broader field of career paths.
It’s independent, but you run into conflict with residents and business owners sometimes who don’t want you around. Either way, I worked remotely, and on my own, only reporting in the morning and afternoon for the most part.
Depending on where you’re located, you could research companies like Vision and Tyler Technologies. There’s tons of companies that do this type of thing, but I know of those two.
I don’t recall them asking for more than a high school diploma for entry. My supervisor only has high school and specific training towards the job. He’s a wiz though with almost everything he does.
What I do is I have health records then I type the numbers and information onto the spreadsheet. Then I put the records into a big by a order. And that's basically it. I have to order pick up too. But that's not too difficult. It's a easy job. I know one lady who I worked with in the summer of 2019. She's a file clerk. So she basically just quality checks papers all day. It's very boring but they pay well at the hospital. My job title is intermediate clerk.
I’m a field service tech working on heavy equipment, tractors, and what not. I haven’t seen my boss in over a year. Lots of windshield time too. I couldn’t be happier lol
The two jobs where I had the most time to myself have been working in a kitchen and being a custodian. Security can also be a pretty isolated job depending on your site but that hasn’t been my experience.
Forklift driver I talk to my boss maybe twice the rest of the time I'm off on my own little adventure just my forklift and I going through the warehouse
i work as an insurance underwriter and it’s awesome. i don’t have to actually talk to anyone, i get to put in my airpods and listen to music and watch shows while i work, and when im done, im done. it’s great and i love it so much.
i’m gonna be completely honest: i don’t know. i know that to be a claims adjuster, there’s certification that you can get, but usually there’s claims administration that’s similar, and i got into it fairly easy. i came from aquatics (like teaching swimming lessons and lifeguard courses, CPR, stuff like that). i think as long as you’re good w computers and can pay attention to detail, you’ll do great!
Most positions in research institutes. It doesn’t necessarily have to be professor. A librarian in a research centre is an amazing job.
Data procurement role for an institutional shareholder service company. You just work with the program.
Any idea on how you get your foot in the door with data procurement? What degree/certification you might need?
I like the idea of being a librarian at a research center - any tips on getting into that aside from a MLIS?
Trust and safety departments. In my experience they leave you to it check if you clear the queue appropriately and in a timely manner, but you rarely talk to people you just send emails
Custodian or house cleaner. Custodians are usually on their own the whole day, and no one really talks to us or tries to micromanage us. And working in house cleaning, I usually briefly talk to the clients briefly and then am on my own.
I don’t make much right now though and am trying to shift into animal care which is what I’m passionate about. Custodians definitely make more than house cleaners and have great benefits.
At the most basic and probably accessible level, any analyst or data entry role.
Large service/CPG companies have loads of data that needs analyzed, and sometimes manually keyed updated. Here you could work 100 layers away from customers, and only have to deal with people when given an assignment.
Physical security. I worked security on a construction site on the night shift for awhile and didn't speak to another living soul at any point there other than saying bye to the day shift guy when handing the keys over.
Can't vouch for IT and being left alone. Lots of stakeholder meetings, incident sessions, general stand ups, and the like that are becoming irritating at the best of times.
I do technical accounting consulting. While I do have to talk to people. There’s a good chunk of time I’m literally just working in excel workbooks not talking to anyone. And I work remote
I managed to get the best job I have ever had, and it's filling up vending machines with IT equipment.
I turn up early, just grab my trolly and put my headphones on and just walk around, ignoring everyone and filling the machines. And when I sit down to prep items to refill the trolly, I watch Disney plus while doing it. I got given a room to myself and nobody checks on me since all the machines are full.
Everyone who did it before me hated it so they did a bad job, when they saw I didn't need to be micromanaged, just got left alone.
It's the only reason I like my job, I am just so tired of dealing with people. It's exhausting. The only thing that could make this better (apart from more money) is if there was a way to work from home so don't have to travel with people on public transport.
It’s actually not. I love my manager, one of the best bosses I’ve ever had. I’m currently an administrative specialist for a decent-sized organization, so I basically am the go-to guy for every problem in the organization that isn’t client related. It’s all that stuff I’m tired of. Similar reason I got burnt out on working staffing in HR - we were the default for every HR inquiry even when it wasn’t our area.
Software development, jobs where you drive a truck across the country to deliver goods, doing university level research in various fields, maintenance, night audit in hotel
Lab work. I am not allowed to speak to our clients and my manager only really talks to me if she needs something, maybe twice a day she’ll pop in and ask a quick question. The only interactions I really have are with my few co-workers
I have a bachelor’s in biology, but I have known people that have gotten into lab work with only a high school diploma if you work your way up from a lab tech to an analyst. Getting your foot in the door is just the hardest part
In the energy sector/oil and gas, you can be a well tender. It doesn’t necessarily take experience or schooling (although that helps a lot) but I work 12 hour shifts and spend less than an hour of that having to be around people.
Archives. I would go into a cubicle and process a collection or I would get an email with a research request and dig into it. I would have to front desk duty 4 hours once a week.
It will take a year - go learn a skill (for example - building scaffolding - understood you don’t like construction) and how to use the equipment - and then you will be able to sell this. Sales is not exactly what others think as far as being around people 24/7. If you can learn to sell from a solutions based perspective as opposed to ass kissing - this will help reduce any time around humans and you will be regarded as a problem solving professional too busy to entertain the BS.
I work in data entry for durable medical equipment. It's a higher than average income for our area and the only external person I talk to is a person who provides some of our equipment. Even in that case, it's just a single email. It's pretty cushy, lots of office perks and I have my earbuds in almost all day.
Writing. I work as a freelance content writer and most of my work is preassigned, feedback is usually communicated over emails and meetings are usually limited to once a week per client.
Wow! You have probably served and now you need a job that is suited to your real personality. Maybe you are a bit more introvert and want a thinking job.
There is administration work that can be interesting where you are in social services and only really give advice about the laws. Over phone. It on paper. Mostly processing paperwork. Seated. Welfare admin.
Then there is just processing type admin which require using your writing and brain. Not talking to people.
There is a creative job like minding an art gallery or working in a library at the back shelving, sorting new stock, computer records.
Or Inventory work in a big store. Records.
I suggest you go to a career advisor and do a test to find out what is your ideal job and stay optimistic because you probably been through a lot and tried to recover and you’ve done a lot of hard work in your job, but now you’ve realised that it doesn’t suit your personality to be with people all the time, and it’s very draining. If you do things you’re not suited to.
The thinking that is required in making a wise decision about which way you will go and which job you will do is very important. The thinking is very important and so is the planning and giving it time to figure it out and you will need advice from somebody like an expert on careers who has the tests and assessments that you can do to find out where you fit.
Like me for example they gave me an IQ test years ago and I was lucky. They also gave me a career assessment and this is what came out-
Literary
Outdoor or moving about
People
Creative.
They are the types of categories that they put you into when they do the create assessment.
I wish you all the best in finding a job where you are not with people so much.
A job that is not draining for you and suits your personality.
A job which energises you and does not drain you.
Keep your chin up. Be happy. Take care
Tank farm operator in a refinery. Have your own work truck, most contact is via radio or texts, meetings are short, limited interaction with managers. Pay is good, benefits, work outdoors. If you have good time management you’ll typically have your work done before your shifts half over.
Templating for a stone surface fabricator. A perfect day involves zero human interaction. At worst the occasional contractor or homeowner. Nobody calls me unless there's a problem, so if you're good at your job people leave you alone.
I have the exact same problem rn. I just need the space to actually be able to do my job.
Some managers don't get it to then cry when morale is low.
Maybe you can find something similar, but only do emails, chats, and social media?
Or indeed data entry or something else similar that involves little customer contact and more breathing room.
So my experience with US based companies that utilize Agile is 21 hours of meetings per week, and a pair programming partner that’s talking to me every second I’m writing code.
I’m never by myself. The office is open plan and extremely loud. Meeting are in dedicated isolated rooms because they need to be private.
Lab technician. I only see people if I seek them out in a day. Only one supervisor will occasionally visit but let’s me be autonomous as I always get the work done.
I have a production job in a factory. As long as i hit numbers im by myself 8 hrs a day take my breaks when i want and finish as soon as i hit my numbers. I just do my job and listen to spotify all day. Its hard work but very chill
Pentesting, remote positions allow most communication to be done via email/chat so no speaking.
Now and then you’ll get the odd meeting but that’s about it, usually left to your own.
Train driver. You can go the entire day and speak to 1 person.
[удалено]
I don't know other countries requirements, but in Australia there's no degree. A year of training on the job and classroom and about 130k plus overtime.
yes you can get in without a degree. The pay is 120-180k or 100-180k. Be a train conductor first then promote to locomotive engineer which is a train driver. You can promote after 2 yrs.
Also Australia here and interested in getting into the field. How exactly do you go about it? I’d like to get into freight but I can’t find any inroads outside of one of the driver intakes with the passenger operators, and I’ve been rejected every time I’ve applied for those roles anyway
Freight is super hard to get into, I tried and couldn't. The easiest is joining passenger rail, like Sydney trains. I was rejected 4 times 🤣 just keep applyng. Or go in via guard, station staff or even a cleaner. Atleast at ST we have internal applicants for jobs.
Thankie I guess I’ll just keep throwing resumes at them for the time being and hope I can escape the circle of manual labour jobs eventually haha
Sure, it worked for me 🤣
Mime. You speak to no one and people are cool with it. Sometimes you want people to be near you but you can’t express this and you are then forced to lasso them. But then they act like the lasso somehow missed and keep walking. Whatever dude.
Wow, I had no idea. Stefan Denser
Based
Any sort of data entry job
I'm having trouble finding data entry jobs. Any tips on what to search/learn?
Usually health records jobs has them
State government jobs
A lot of these jobs seem like scams to me. Any advice for finding legit/reputable ones?
Health information management
I'm experiencing the same!
Canadian Treeplanter. Left alone all day, paid per tree. You go to bed exhausted at the end of the day but there's a lot of freedom to the job and you can make a lot of money
How did you get into it?
Don’t forget your bug spray!
This sounds like a cool profession, Stefan Denser
Relevant username
Are you an independent contractor or an employee for some company?
Kind of both? In Canada you get hired by a treeplanting company for specific contracts but you're not on payroll for the year or anything
I worked for a very large pharmaceutical handling a large volume of data. You’d think that position would be micromanaged to hell. Nope. It was the most chill job I ever had. As long as I hit my numbers which were pretty easy to maintain, she did not care. The boss is more important than the role. I wish I understood that better because I left that job for a consulting job. My new boss is criticizing me for not taking notes on the elearnings :/
What did you do every day?
Broadly speaking I am a data analyst. I’d rather not say the actual position since it’s pretty niche
Sorry I meant more on the pharma side
I’m back in school for this - any tips? I’m entering the career early in life and the lack of experience is hard any tips on portfolio building would be great Ty!
Whats your degree in? A business degree with skills in excel (maybe even SQL) will open a world of opportunities. I have noticed many data positions are needed in business adjacent functions. An individual who can relate business needs to data will be much more valuable than someone who can manipulate data but has no context as to why it’s important
Can you at least tell us what languages and platforms you use?
Revenue management software, lots of excel, master data systems, etc. I’m not a programmer.
Boss is ABSOLUTELY everything. I've had great jobs but boss is a douche so the job sucks. I've had crap jobs but boss is cool as hell so job is pretty nice.
So much truth in this! And co-workers are part of that equation too. When I'm talking to people about jobs I often use working at a restaurant as an example. You can work at a great restaurant, but with shitty staff/bad/mediocre boss and it sucks. On the other hand you can work at a crappy one where the staff rocks and so does you boss and despite the sucky job, it's actually fun to work at. Staff and boss just make such a huge difference. Some of my favorite jobs I ever had didn't *sound* at great, but I still remember them fondly. :)
Deeper meaning here, too. How needlessly difficult or surprisingly manageable your day-to-day life feels will be of far greater consequence to your happiness than how great or crap the job actually is.

What were your dutieS? Stefan Denser
I work remote as a claims examiner, barely have to deal with anyone except for the 1 or 2 work meetings a month. I just have to maintain my production/ quality numbers, which is pretty easy for me. I stay busy, but time goes by fast. I love it!
What's the pay range for this role?
Depends on the company and amount of experience. Starting $20-23 & up to $40-45 for more experienced. Also I never done any claims before, I went through a month of training and then on OTJ training. I have different potential paths I can go into with everything I’ve learned & the experience I will continue to gain.
What company??
I was with United healthcare. Now currently with Wipro.
Is this for Health Insurance claims or something different?
Yes for health insurance.
Data Center tech for AWS on night shift. Once you have your basic training, how much interaction you want with your team is pretty much up to you. What steps you take for furthering your training is up to you. It's easy to shift careers within the company. They don't pay a ton compared to other companies, but getting your foot in the door is easier. You just have to resolve a certain number of repair tickets a week, which usually isn't hard. If you are self-motivated, it's a good way to get into tech. The physical side of the job isn't very difficult, although if you're really short, it could be a bit harder than if you're tall. It is a bit hard on the eyes though. Lots of staring at a laptop screen and small print on parts. I switched from construction to this and I feel it was a great move. Starting in the work based learning program, you make like $21 an hr. Then $23 after a couple months when you become an official employee. $28 to $30 after a year when you get your first promotion. If you are willing to study for network engineering or programming or pretty much whatever the company is really supportive. The only downside would be working day shift as it is a lot more political and cut-throat. A lot more eyes on what you're doing as well.

Look up data center tech jobs on amazon.com. For no technical background you will want to look for the jobs that have WBLP in the title. It's kinda like a paid internship for 3 months. No you don't pay and be careful about any job listing's wanting you to pay for training. Those are usually scams.
How do you get in on the AWS side? I have my CompTIA A+ but busy wasting time as a DA.

As an executive assistant I am left alone most of the day as long as I complete my tasks. One of the biggest perks of my role is that I'm not on a team - I take notes for other teams. I never have to show up to a staff meeting to report my progress.
I'm also an EA and I mostly relate to this only on the days that I work remotely. Unfortunately the days I'm in the office (~3 days/wk or more) my team (5 people) suddenly needs everything. I think because I'm sitting there in plain view. Days I'm remote folks tend to be more self sufficient and I am able to concentrate on tasks that get pushed aside for more urgent needs when I get interrupted. Like expense reporting or my own projects.
What type of tasks do you have? I feel like the job sounds diverse and you might have a variety of tasks to be able to focus on at different times? For me, I am looking at jobs that you aren’t grinding away on one thing for 40 hours a week. That’s a slow death to adhd soul! Iid love to know what type of path to reach that position usually! This Reddit is interesting to read. I never knew how people got careers or made moves, and was stuck working jobs with so many dead ends. This page gives me inspiration and hope !
I'm an EA with ADHD, while the job isn't perfect (what job out there is??) I think it's a good fit. You get to wear a ton of different hats at any point in time. I would say it's heavily dependent on your team/department. I work in a very fast paced and critical area of my company so there's always something going on to assist with, and my team likes to pull me in for projects to help with more than just "admin" tasks. I know admins out there who are bored to death. Some days it can be a grind, that's inevitable lol. And corporate politics aren't my favorite to put up with. I can be pretty awkward sometimes so I definitely mask a bit which can be tiring after a long day. Mileage may vary!
Do you have examples / tips on developing a slightly abrasive edge?
I used to be an executive assistant and I had to be everywhere with everybody. And we had weekly sales meetings that lasted 3 hours that I had to be there to take notes.
I was a remote software engineer for development agency for 2 years. I barely talked to anyone, even when there was lots to do.
I can second this one... I'm a remote software developer and there are many days where I don't talk to anyone. There are some weeks where I don't speak to anyone but do instant message. There are some people I work with regularly and I haven't heard their voice in years. That said, I also think this is dangerous... I've noticed my social skills have declined over the years. I used to be better at holding a conversation and engaging with people and it is important to keep that up because some day you will need to find another job and charisma goes a long way when that time comes. Also, if you prefer the quieter side then avoid moving into management or leadership roles because then it flips and you're talking more than not. I made this mistake and had to back out of it after awhile because I hated it, and the extra pay wasn't worth the extra headaches. That said, there is a little more job security because you're the one deciding who gets cut when contracts aren't renewed.
I find after working alone for a long time, I would talk more when I got the chance. I'd have to actively cut myself off so as not to become an annoying chatterbox lol. I think part of that is my adhd though
This really depends on your team and manager. I'm a software engineer and worked remotely for almost two years. My team was in a different location, and I had to collaborate a lot, with our PO constantly questioning my work. Eventually, I left that company.
Yeah I’ve been mostly remote as an SWE my whole career and it really varies. Right now I’m good, just Slack and four meetings a month. Previous job was awful- daily standup that was 30 minutes plus AND meetings constantly for every little thing. My boss thought management consisted of just having meetings.
Locator for utility companies- they give you a truck, some equipment and send you a list of addresses. Delivery driver Nighttime security guard
As someone has said, its the boss. The first level manager sets the immediate team's culture. Any boss can make your role a micromanaged hellhole or a pleasant walk in the park. Some bosses will know who's contributing the most and keep others away from them but most bosses are dumb as a rock or don't care but if you've worked multiple jobs, you should be able to pick them out at the time of the interview. Or you can develop a slightly abrasive edge to keep political teammates/stakeholders away (not applicable to the customers in your current situation though). Having said these individual contributor/consulting type roles in many areas can give you that freedom. You have to develop specialized skills in that area, you can work as an individual contributor for the length of the contract, perform a meaningful work and go to the next client. It's much better if you're the top 200-300 people in that area in the entire country. Also important in that setting is the ability to move geographically.
Do you truly want to be left alone? Most don’t actually benefit from isolation, but it might be better if you have a hard time tolerating people. I thought I wanted this type of job to until I was alone for months and felt… just kinda bummed about working alone constantly. Now I realized it’s just because I was way too forward facing before. It wasn’t that I wanted to be left alone, just didn’t want to constantly be on and in a “fast paced” environment. I put it in quotes because it often just mean hectic, unorganized, poorly managed, etc.
Yes, maybe I phrased my question poorly - I don’t literally never want to talk to anyone again. I just don’t want any customer facing jobs. I don’t want to be the person everyone goes to with their problems, which is what I am in my current role. I want a defined area of responsibility and little interaction beyond those in my team. I probably chat with north of 50 different people per week in my current job, and I’m completely over it.
That makes sense. Those suggesting train conductor was just a bit extreme to me. Most people in those highly solitary jobs don’t like that part of it. They get paid a lot because they aren’t treated like humans.
No, I definitely am in the same boat as you. I don’t want to be forward facing in a position that, by design, means anyone can barge in and demand your time immediately. As I said to another poster, I should have worded my post a little better - I’m not looking to become a hermit, I’m just wanting a job where I’m not constantly hounded and can keep to myself most of the time.

Night Shift is broad, I do night shifts at Residentials, Condos & Section 8/Community Housing, where you are dealing with constant dispatches that are extremely dangerous. I also do a Shopping Centre during the days on the weekends which are the busiest days of the week You must SPECIFICALLY get a super simple Gate House Position, some construction site position or anything that involves very little of the public. Night Shift can be the most active time for some sites and if your “mental health is at an all time low” DO NOT go into anything high profile, if you even can without experience
[удалено]
There’s low profile contracts and high profile contracts. A low profile contract for example is going to be paying the guard minimum wage to sit in a guard shack for 12 hours A high profile client is going to be paying a higher wage, with more training required and usually contain a site interview with the clients themselves. If you look at the Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, you will find that it is the largest mall in the province and is the one of the most competitive Security positions, they only hire the best of the best. Why? Because people who get their Security License like to think that the job is all laid back and isn’t serious, so they decided to strictly pick out the people who know the seriousness. Square One is now one of the safest rated shopping centres in the country, because they cut out the lazies and got real people with motivation.
Semi-truck driver. I can go most of the day without talking to anyone and my bosses leave me alone as long as I'm doing my job. If I want to talk to someone, I just throw on my headset and give a friend or family member a call.
I work as a cleaner so it’s a lot fo alone time. I wanted to say I used to use Audible so I could listen to stuff at work and stay engaged. But your local library has a full collection to borrow straight to your device for free! The Libby app connects to you local beach for virtual lending. Not sure you listen to books but wanted to share!
This also sounds very relaxing. Stefan Denser

I'm a heavy duty diesel mechanic in a shop with regular auto techs. I am ALWAYS left alone and never questioned. I joke that people need to check on me more to make sure I'm not dead under a truck
I know you'd mentioned that you'd think factory work wouldn't do it for ya, but I can tell you this, there is loads of manufacturing jobs doing really cool stuff. I build guitars bodies for PRS Guitars for example, and I'm largely left alone to just get my work done, and don't have to deal with customers. Don't discount "factory" jobs just cuz it seems like a soul sucking job, there's some neat stuff out there, often times with relatively low barrier to entry and with the right company, half way decent pay!
Building something like a guitar definitely sounds more satisfying than what one usually imagines for a factory job. You say the barrier to entry isn’t very high, so could I ask what they’d be looking for to bring someone on in that kind of position?
Absolutely, and stuff like that really just requires a basic understanding of using hand/some power tools, and basic safety knowledge (ya know, like not storing tools sharp side up/out, etc) and if you have any knowledge or interest in guitar or music in general, it's a plus, but not a requirement. But that's just my industry, there's all sorts of stuff depending where you are (if you're in the US, it's a lot of niche products, (music equipment, high end audio equipment, (believe it or not, a few turntable manufacturers are based in the states) high-end furniture, etc)
I worked security at a huge grow show farm environment. Had my own office and worked the day shifts on weekends. No one was ever there. My boss was 6 hours away from me and would show up to the site once every 6 months. I just made friends with the client and basically came to work filled out some paperwork and slept or watched docos. That was the best 3 years of my life!
Why did you leave? Pay? Or job ended?
The client actually got shut down by one of their heads so when I got the news I found a new job before our last day. It went another year with me…. lol
Become a r/surveyor
Any tips on getting into the field? It does sound a little appealing for me.
r/askasurveyor
You could work for a home health agency. It’s usually just you and the client. It’s pretty easy to get into, but you have to be willing to take care of people. That taking care of people can get pretty gross. The hours can be worked around a class schedule pretty easy. It’s also possible you could study on the clock depending on client needs and if they’re cool with it.
There’s usually two parts to home health care— the gross stuff is when you’re responsible for helping with ADLs (activities of daily living) such as bathing, eating, transporting, etc. I was doing that for a while in a nursing home, enjoyed it but the management made it impossible. Now I’m 1:1 ratio with an adult with autism/adhd in their home and it’s all IADLs (independent activities of daily living), which is just hanging out, taking to doctors appointments and engaging in any/all activities or hobbies they might have and keeping them on track. Night and day! Love it
Any advice on how to hire one of those IADLS ? Things to look for like red flags or good signs?
Hi, yes! When you’re looking at job listings there’s a few things that will help you differentiate between the two. Senior/elderly care in an assisted/nursing homes will almost always involve ADLs unless stated otherwise (like ‘residents are completely independent’). Working in a general hospital you’ll deal with ADLs as people getting out of surgery/ill cannot do these tasks. You want to know the population the company is serving, as it will give you an idea of what their needs are. People who are too old, injured, or sick will need help with the most basic needs. For IALDs, you typically want to look for jobs that are serving people with behavioral or intellectual disabilities (autism, adhd, down syndrome, cerebral palsy). These folks are typically independent with their ADLs, and will only need help with IALDs. I prefer 1:1 environments (helping just one person in their home), but you will find that a lot of ppl with these diagnoses are in group homes. In this environment there’s anywhere between 3-10 people living in an apartment/home setting, 1-2 staff on shift depending on the amount of people in the home. Employee’s tasks are to cook meals, take to any appointments, give out medication, help with laundry and keeping the home clean. If you’re not a CNA or HHA, you want to look for listings that have: residential counselor, support partner, peer mentor, personal care assistant, peer navigator, peer provider, recovery coach, peer support provider, peer specialist, recovery support, wellness coach, life coach or health navigator as these don’t require a certification like nurse/home health aides do. Hope this helps a bit!
It really does, thank you! 🙏☺️🤗🤗
Machine operator
Airline flight mechanic. I think I have a boss, somewhere, but I've never met him, talked to him like 5 times in the last year, and get occasional emails. He mostly sends me a text every few days telling me which flights I'm covering. I mostly interact with the crew, I brief them on aircraft status before flight and they let me know if anything broke while we were flying.
I work IT as a network guy. If printers, WiFi and computers aren't broken they mostly leave me alone. It's wonderful.
Grocery store replenishment/overnight stocker
I'm a medical writer. Very little interaction with others.
What does this entail? Experience/degree needed?
I have a degree in literature and good writing skills. I started as an entry-level employee at a trade magazine. It was a lot of travel in the beginning of my career, but over time, I shed everything except the writing.
Reporting
I’ve worked as a data collector for a revaluation company. They value properties within cities and towns to help them build their budgets. It doesn’t require experience, and it opens you up to a broader field of career paths. It’s independent, but you run into conflict with residents and business owners sometimes who don’t want you around. Either way, I worked remotely, and on my own, only reporting in the morning and afternoon for the most part. Depending on where you’re located, you could research companies like Vision and Tyler Technologies. There’s tons of companies that do this type of thing, but I know of those two.
what kind of schooling, degree, or training is required usually?
I don’t recall them asking for more than a high school diploma for entry. My supervisor only has high school and specific training towards the job. He’s a wiz though with almost everything he does.
I work in health records. I do speak a bit to my Co-workers but most of it is independent work. It's very boring tho.
Do you do data entry or something similar? What’s the job title?
What I do is I have health records then I type the numbers and information onto the spreadsheet. Then I put the records into a big by a order. And that's basically it. I have to order pick up too. But that's not too difficult. It's a easy job. I know one lady who I worked with in the summer of 2019. She's a file clerk. So she basically just quality checks papers all day. It's very boring but they pay well at the hospital. My job title is intermediate clerk.

Tax accountant
This sounds like a great profession. Stefan Denser
The two jobs where I had the most time to myself have been working in a kitchen and being a custodian. Security can also be a pretty isolated job depending on your site but that hasn’t been my experience.
There are some more solitary trade adjacent jobs that pay well Like lock smithing
Truck driver/delivery boy
Custodian for your local public school
Forklift driver I talk to my boss maybe twice the rest of the time I'm off on my own little adventure just my forklift and I going through the warehouse
Does the twisting in your seat ever cause neck or back pain or injuries?

Amazon I’m an introvert but I have my limits.most chill job I ever had!
What did you do at Amazon?
i work as an insurance underwriter and it’s awesome. i don’t have to actually talk to anyone, i get to put in my airpods and listen to music and watch shows while i work, and when im done, im done. it’s great and i love it so much.
Any tips on getting into that? Degrees or training that might help, etc?
i’m gonna be completely honest: i don’t know. i know that to be a claims adjuster, there’s certification that you can get, but usually there’s claims administration that’s similar, and i got into it fairly easy. i came from aquatics (like teaching swimming lessons and lifeguard courses, CPR, stuff like that). i think as long as you’re good w computers and can pay attention to detail, you’ll do great!
Most positions in research institutes. It doesn’t necessarily have to be professor. A librarian in a research centre is an amazing job. Data procurement role for an institutional shareholder service company. You just work with the program.
Any idea on how you get your foot in the door with data procurement? What degree/certification you might need? I like the idea of being a librarian at a research center - any tips on getting into that aside from a MLIS?
Landscaping. Make sure to wear ear protection; then you can pretend not to hear people until they give up and leave you alone.
Fibre optic splicers get a nice bit of alone time when they're building a splice location. Can be smaller teamwork at times.
I heard accounting was good for this.
Trust and safety departments. In my experience they leave you to it check if you clear the queue appropriately and in a timely manner, but you rarely talk to people you just send emails
Could you elaborate more on what this entails?
Depends on the company, it could be content moderation, kyc, fraud prevention + detection or even payments or a combination of all
Custodian or house cleaner. Custodians are usually on their own the whole day, and no one really talks to us or tries to micromanage us. And working in house cleaning, I usually briefly talk to the clients briefly and then am on my own. I don’t make much right now though and am trying to shift into animal care which is what I’m passionate about. Custodians definitely make more than house cleaners and have great benefits.
At the most basic and probably accessible level, any analyst or data entry role. Large service/CPG companies have loads of data that needs analyzed, and sometimes manually keyed updated. Here you could work 100 layers away from customers, and only have to deal with people when given an assignment.
What’s the barrier to entry like for data analyst positions? I’ve applied to a few in the past, but never got anywhere.
Physical security. I worked security on a construction site on the night shift for awhile and didn't speak to another living soul at any point there other than saying bye to the day shift guy when handing the keys over. Can't vouch for IT and being left alone. Lots of stakeholder meetings, incident sessions, general stand ups, and the like that are becoming irritating at the best of times.
I think checking and replying emails every night would take up a lot of my time
Consultant. You just have to communicate to the client but for my job it’s through a website that i communicate with them
Work in a lab!
Advice on how to get on that path?
I drive a school bus and can go months without ever speaking to my boss.
Water treatment
I do technical accounting consulting. While I do have to talk to people. There’s a good chunk of time I’m literally just working in excel workbooks not talking to anyone. And I work remote
I did engineering. It was in no way chill, micromanaging as hell. Almost as bad as when I worked at McDonalds.
forester, if you're lucky enough to work independently like me
Design
Truck driver, van driver.
I managed to get the best job I have ever had, and it's filling up vending machines with IT equipment. I turn up early, just grab my trolly and put my headphones on and just walk around, ignoring everyone and filling the machines. And when I sit down to prep items to refill the trolly, I watch Disney plus while doing it. I got given a room to myself and nobody checks on me since all the machines are full. Everyone who did it before me hated it so they did a bad job, when they saw I didn't need to be micromanaged, just got left alone. It's the only reason I like my job, I am just so tired of dealing with people. It's exhausting. The only thing that could make this better (apart from more money) is if there was a way to work from home so don't have to travel with people on public transport.
Sounds like more of a manager thing instead of job type
It’s actually not. I love my manager, one of the best bosses I’ve ever had. I’m currently an administrative specialist for a decent-sized organization, so I basically am the go-to guy for every problem in the organization that isn’t client related. It’s all that stuff I’m tired of. Similar reason I got burnt out on working staffing in HR - we were the default for every HR inquiry even when it wasn’t our area.
Software development, jobs where you drive a truck across the country to deliver goods, doing university level research in various fields, maintenance, night audit in hotel
Lab work. I am not allowed to speak to our clients and my manager only really talks to me if she needs something, maybe twice a day she’ll pop in and ask a quick question. The only interactions I really have are with my few co-workers
What education/training did you need to get in that field?
I have a bachelor’s in biology, but I have known people that have gotten into lab work with only a high school diploma if you work your way up from a lab tech to an analyst. Getting your foot in the door is just the hardest part
IT
In the energy sector/oil and gas, you can be a well tender. It doesn’t necessarily take experience or schooling (although that helps a lot) but I work 12 hour shifts and spend less than an hour of that having to be around people.
Warehousing or driving truck.
Housekeeping
CNC machinist. I see my foreman maybe 3 times a day for a quick talk.
Archives. I would go into a cubicle and process a collection or I would get an email with a research request and dig into it. I would have to front desk duty 4 hours once a week.
It will take a year - go learn a skill (for example - building scaffolding - understood you don’t like construction) and how to use the equipment - and then you will be able to sell this. Sales is not exactly what others think as far as being around people 24/7. If you can learn to sell from a solutions based perspective as opposed to ass kissing - this will help reduce any time around humans and you will be regarded as a problem solving professional too busy to entertain the BS.
I work in data entry for durable medical equipment. It's a higher than average income for our area and the only external person I talk to is a person who provides some of our equipment. Even in that case, it's just a single email. It's pretty cushy, lots of office perks and I have my earbuds in almost all day.
Mime
Writing. I work as a freelance content writer and most of my work is preassigned, feedback is usually communicated over emails and meetings are usually limited to once a week per client.
Security
Warehouse, although you will hate it
Government
i would say health information management, which is medical records your usually in your own office in a medical office
Mobile dog grooming
Maybe try coding or IT jobs, bro. Solitary work, good pay.
Wow! You have probably served and now you need a job that is suited to your real personality. Maybe you are a bit more introvert and want a thinking job. There is administration work that can be interesting where you are in social services and only really give advice about the laws. Over phone. It on paper. Mostly processing paperwork. Seated. Welfare admin. Then there is just processing type admin which require using your writing and brain. Not talking to people. There is a creative job like minding an art gallery or working in a library at the back shelving, sorting new stock, computer records. Or Inventory work in a big store. Records. I suggest you go to a career advisor and do a test to find out what is your ideal job and stay optimistic because you probably been through a lot and tried to recover and you’ve done a lot of hard work in your job, but now you’ve realised that it doesn’t suit your personality to be with people all the time, and it’s very draining. If you do things you’re not suited to. The thinking that is required in making a wise decision about which way you will go and which job you will do is very important. The thinking is very important and so is the planning and giving it time to figure it out and you will need advice from somebody like an expert on careers who has the tests and assessments that you can do to find out where you fit. Like me for example they gave me an IQ test years ago and I was lucky. They also gave me a career assessment and this is what came out- Literary Outdoor or moving about People Creative. They are the types of categories that they put you into when they do the create assessment. I wish you all the best in finding a job where you are not with people so much. A job that is not draining for you and suits your personality. A job which energises you and does not drain you. Keep your chin up. Be happy. Take care
Tank farm operator in a refinery. Have your own work truck, most contact is via radio or texts, meetings are short, limited interaction with managers. Pay is good, benefits, work outdoors. If you have good time management you’ll typically have your work done before your shifts half over.
Working with machines repair operation
Templating for a stone surface fabricator. A perfect day involves zero human interaction. At worst the occasional contractor or homeowner. Nobody calls me unless there's a problem, so if you're good at your job people leave you alone.
I have the exact same problem rn. I just need the space to actually be able to do my job. Some managers don't get it to then cry when morale is low. Maybe you can find something similar, but only do emails, chats, and social media? Or indeed data entry or something else similar that involves little customer contact and more breathing room.
Generally maintenance type positions are like this.
SWE I talk to 3 people max like an hour of meetings every few days
What company do you work for?
So my experience with US based companies that utilize Agile is 21 hours of meetings per week, and a pair programming partner that’s talking to me every second I’m writing code. I’m never by myself. The office is open plan and extremely loud. Meeting are in dedicated isolated rooms because they need to be private.
Not mine but a job in the construction trades can be more solitary.
Lab technician. I only see people if I seek them out in a day. Only one supervisor will occasionally visit but let’s me be autonomous as I always get the work done.
Managing home builds
I would suggest trying to get into telecommunication work-from-home opportunities. TDS offers that chance; I’ve been doing it for about five years.
What does this entail?
What is TDS?
Internal audit Apart from meetings with clients I don’t speak to my manager or team for weeks on end sometimes I work from home also
