Jobs for people who don't like people?
Discount Medical Scrubs
I am going to be starting school next semester and I am trying to find a major.
I want a decent paying job that wouldnt require much social interaction with other people. I can definitly be sensitive and compassionate, but I dont have much patients and people annoy me.
I REALLY want something in the medical field, and unfortunatly I cant be a Dr Cox, (scrubs) or House 9house, md) because I would most likely be fired. 
So what good jobs are out there that qould require as little interaction with the human race as possible, but still enjoyable?

Lab technician – researcher. Professor (they don’t care what others think of them).

You could still become a doctor, but maybe not in the patient care field. What about medical research?

You’re never going to avoid interaction with people altogether. You should learn to be more tolerant. I do understand what you’re saying however. You should NOT become a manager or supervisor obviously. Become a technician of sorts, own your own business. I mean people are what you make money off of, so unless you want a desk job in a cubicle in a corner somewhere, you’re going to have to learn to join the human race.
I like working on my own too. I used to be in purchasing and would just spend a lot of time on the phone mostly getting competitive quotations. But I did have to deal with the general public and contractors when bids were received and closed and meet with them to sign documents etc.
I worked with all men for 10 years prior to that and although I had to do a lot for them that most women would whine about, it was WAY better than when I moved to an all woman office where all they did was gab and biotch and complain all day. It went all downhill after that and now I work from home. Yippeee!!
Oh and for a spell there I thought I actually missed adult companionship and volunteered to work at school on the school council. It didn’t take me long to regret that decision and remind me of the reason I went into semi-retirement. Good thing I planned for these years way back in my early 20s.

Go into computer programming,, forget medical..
No matter what you do in the medical field, it will be somewhat people oriented, even if you work in a lab.
You will always have to work for someone else or over the internet to be most devoid of social contact. Business owners have to appease and negotiate w/people and that is not you.

Well if you want a job in health care, a lab technologist would be good. You will be down in the labs and only deal with your coworkers. Lab assistants usually have to take blood and so have to deal with patients. Not my cup of tea either. You could also be a pathologists assistant. Then its only you, the pathologist, and the dead guy on the table.

You mean you are sensitive and compassionate as long as you don’t have to deal with real people and problems? Please stay away from nursing.
Forget the suggestion of a job in computers. Most computer jobs require a lot of human interaction and the longer you stay in the field the more it will require. You can’t do anything with computers that doesn’t end up involving a lot of other people in other groups. The days of sitting in a cubicle and just programming by yourself are gone. And people in technical fields can be abrasive, quirky, uncooperative and downright difficult.
Writing is solitary work (usually). But it doesn’t usually pay well.
Boiler repairman, truck driver–jobs like this pay well…I know of several people with mental problems that require they work alone in jobs like these. If you really have that much difficulty tolerating others you don’t need college, you need a trade that involves working alone.
It makes more sense to work on your inability to tolerate other people with a competent therapist.
