Hi I was wondering what are some high paying socially stress free or socially limited jobs. For instance from what I gather a computer programmer would be one type of job. My uncle is a computer programmer and it only recently occured to me he is an omnivert leaning more towards the introvert side. He also really likes computers. I live in Canada and am thinking about my future. I want to be in a career that suits my personality but at the same time gives me a decent wage. I have some serious problems with sleep. The problem is insomnia. I would really like a job that starts in the afternoon. For instance. There was a job I saw recently posted for a janitor for schools in the Toronto area. Now this job might not appeal to the majority of the population. It however struck a chord with me. The jos starts at $15.53/hr Canadian (not bad at all) and the shift starts at 3pm. This is the perfect time for me to start work. Why because if I stay up all night tossing and turnning I'll still have some time to sleep in. So here's what I'm getting at. The rules for replying to this post are as follows.

1. Name a high-paying socially stress free job.
2. Name the amount of time needed to invest in the education
to get this job. The shorter the better.

What about accounting. It's a four year degree, but I think one could still be an accounting clerk or bookkeeper with a two year degree.

Sadly, accounting is not completely a social free job. I know, I was one for 8 years. True, a lot of time is spent behind a computer, but you also have to interact with lots of people either over the phone or in person, such as customers, vendors, bankers, auditors, tax consultants, etc. Of course, if you know your job well enough, communicating with these people is not difficult at all.

But to make the really big money in accounting, you need social skills because you have to manage other accountants, and give presentations to upper management.

:agree

There's many things about work that you don't enjoy, but you deal with them because you need a paycheck, and you need a good career to carry you through the rest of your life. Social interaction is just one of those things.
