So, you're not a 'people person'. We've got just the job for you...

If you don't enjoy social interaction and your idea of hell is an office Christmas party, here is a list of jobs that might just suit you down to the ground (and in the case of tree surgeon, 'down to the ground' is not just a commonly used phrase).

Not everybody is a people person.

If this sounds like you, your best approach for finding a job could be searching for work where people skills aren't all that necessary.

To find these jobs, we averaged data from the Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, a US Department of Labor database full of detailed information on 974 occupations.

O*NET rates each occupation on a scale from zero to 100 on how much a job requires workers to be in contact with others and how much a job requires workers to be pleasant with others, where a lower rating signals less-required sociability.”
