Best Careers
for Quiet People
You don't have to schmooze to
succeed in your career - shy people can thrive in these career options.
By Jennifer Berry
Do you ever worry that you're too quiet or shy to succeed in
the professional world?
Relax. There are plenty of career opportunities where shy
people can shine.
"As a quiet, shy person, or introvert, you can succeed
at numerous career paths in business, the sciences, academia, government, the
arts, and the nonprofit world," says Nancy Ancowitz, a business communication
coach and author of "Self-Promotion for Introverts."
"Explore careers that play to your quiet strengths -
reading, researching, writing, concentrating deeply, and problem solving
largely on your own," adds Ancowitz.
Check out these six careers that are known to be more on the
quiet side. To help you get started, we also point out the educational options.
If you enjoy the quiet concentration of doing math and
working with facts and figures, consider pursuing a career as an accountant.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, as an accountant
you might calculate and submit payment of taxes for your clients, organize
financial records, and prepare financial reports. You might also suggest
different ways for your company to reduce costs and improve profits.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "Individuals and businesses will always need someone
to manage their financial P's and Q's," Ancowitz says. "If you're a
quiet or shy person with a knack for numbers, you may be well suited to
preparing and analyzing financial statements and tax records. As more of a
'workhorse' than a 'show horse,' you get to add enormous value to an
organization through lots of quiet number crunching rather than constant
schmoozing."
How can I prepare for this career? According to the Department of Labor, you'll need at least
a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field to pursue a career as an
accountant. The Department also notes that getting certified as a Certified
Public Accountant (CPA) might improve your job prospects or help you gain
clients.
Think a career in front of the computer best fits your quiet
personality? Consider preparing to pursue a career as a computer programmer.
As a computer programmer, you might write code in computer
languages like C++ and Java to create software programs, according to the U.S.
Department of Labor. You could also test programs to make sure they're working
properly, and fix the code to correct any found mistakes.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "Not big on small talk? Think of yourself as a
computer whisperer," Ancowitz says. "Your inclination to immerse
yourself in tasks that most mortals consider mind-numbing is one of your gifts.
Your technical know-how, persistence, and problem-solving abilities - rather
than your ability to work the room at a cocktail party or rouse the crowds -
will be measures of your success."
How can I prepare for this career? While most computer programmers have a bachelor's degree in
computer science or a related area, some employers could hire candidates with
an associate's degree, says the Department of Labor.
If you're interested in the booming health care industry,
but would rather work behind-the-scenes than deal with patients face-to-face, a
career as a medical records and health information technician might be a good
fit for you.
As a medical records and health information technician, you
could review medical records to make sure they're complete and accurate. You
may also work with special software to assign codes to each procedure or
condition, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "Don't take it for granted if you excel at wildly
detail-oriented tasks while most of the world just seems to skim,"
Ancowitz says. "You can be indispensable to an organization by quietly
paying attention to the difference a zero can make."
How can I prepare for this career? Education options for this career include a certificate or
associate's degree in health information technology from an accredited program,
says the Department of Labor. The Department also notes that many employers
might require professional certification such as Registered Health Information
Technician (RHIT).
Do you enjoy the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of a spa?
Consider pursuing a career as a massage therapist, where you might be able to
spend your working hours surrounded by that calming environment.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, you might talk
with your clients to find out more about their symptoms, or where they carry
tension, and then manipulate muscles to help them relax. You could also advise
your clients on how to best stretch, relax, or even improve their posture.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "As a massage therapist, you might press as much flesh
as a politician, but if you're a quieter soul, you'll be better suited to this
calmer role," notes Ancowitz. "For one thing, you'll typically
interact with one person at a time. Using your knowledge of human physiology
combined with massage techniques, you'll get to support your clients'
well-being and healing. Of course, you'll talk to your clients, too, but
typically in a calm environment. Sure beats stumping at political
How can I prepare for this career? You could start by completing a massage therapy program to
help you earn a license or certification. Check with your state to see if
you'll need to have a license or certificate to practice massage therapy -
standards vary by state, according to the Department of Labor.
If you're content spending many quiet hours working on your
art, consider pursuing a career as a graphic designer.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, as a graphic
designer you might create visual concepts to get your client's message across
to their target audience. Part of the role might also include developing logos,
illustrations, or websites with designs created by hand or with computer
programs.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "Are you a visual thinker who is more conversant in
the world of shapes, patterns, and colors than in words? That can be an asset
if you're aiming to be a graphic designer," Ancowitz says. "If you
experience the world first and foremost through your eyes, you can make
everything you touch a lot more aesthetically pleasing as a graphic
designer."
How can I prepare for this career? Graphic designers usually need a bachelor's degree in
graphic design or a related area to get started, according to the Department of
Labor. If you already have a bachelor's degree in another field, consider
pursuing technical graphic design training.
Do you generally prefer to be a "fly on the wall"
versus the center of attention? Are you good at concentrating in the face of
distraction? Consider pursuing a career in court reporting.
As a court reporter, you might record conversations,
testimonies, or speeches using specialized equipment like covered microphones,
according to the U.S. Department of Labor. And you could edit transcripts for
typographical errors, provide copies of transcripts to courts or lawyers, and
produce an accurate and complete legal record.
How is it ideal for quiet people? "Court reporting takes a rare blend of skills -
including active listening, deep concentration, precision, computer and other
machine operation ability, and facility with language - which are a natural
match for certain quiet and shy people," Ancowitz says.
How can I prepare for this career? One option is a certificate program that covers how to use
steno masks and digital recording, according to the Department of Labor. Or you
could learn how to use stenotype machines in an associate's degree program.
After you graduate, you might also need to take a certification or licensing
exam. Check with your state for specifics.
