What Are Some Good Jobs for the Socially Phobic?

[Lissa102]

It's terrifying to even think of messing up in front of your boss, co-workers and customers.
What would be a good part-time/full-time job ((not career)), for someone who is socially phobic?

If you're employed, what is your job?

I just got back from a series of interviews and it's not intimidating at all. My impression is that the interviewers are geeks who care about your technical skills much more over your social skills. hell.. there was even 1 interviewer who had no social skills / interviwing skills, it was so awkward between us lol

Im looking into being a medical transcriptionist. You basically listen to recordings and notes that doctors make and type them up and organize them.

I hear that 30% work from home. I dont really want to work from home but I have agoraphobia too and its nice to have as an option.

They also make aboot 25,000-50,000 per year.

It kinda nuts cause I have B.S degree and its basically worthless for me right now.

Working in a closet.

If I got paid for being in the closet I'd be a millionaire by now.

Transcription work you can do from home is a good option. I've done some in the past and enjoyed it.

Is it a very demanding job? what requirements do you need to qualify?
