NEET

if you have a second languague translator is pretty neat. Only need to find a few pro clients at first and then, weeeeeeeeee

sit at home and collect NEETBux

or become a unibomber

I saw this bookkeeper position earlier today. Perfect location, pay wasn't that good, but then I look at it more. Basically they want you to be a secretary while you do bookkeeping. So I get to get hounded by the public as I'm doing accounting. Shit be insane. I hate people also, but I can't do muh math when being interrupted by calls and people.

I'm a self employed internet marketer and I have built a successful business at home without talking to 1 single person in real life or via phone. Just talk to ppl via Skype chat sometimes. It's not cuz I hate people though , cuz I want to be in control of my life

short-order cook would limit your personal interaction with people.

if you want white-collar, you're looking more for a staff position as an analyst or some other form of quant profession; financial analyst, systems analyst, DBA, etc. all are adequate professions where you don't have to be sociable.

If you absolutely don't want to talk to anyone ever, you could become a janitor.

If you want to own your own business, you could start a lawn-mowing service with an acquaintance; you do the mowing, they do the marketing. Or you could buy fixer-upper houses to rent out, then hire a property manager to deal with the tenants.

>short-order cook would limit your personal interaction with people.
No it doesn't. You are surrounded by sweaty people.

I grade standardized tests. The only human interaction I have is to check in in the morning by email, and once or twice more after I pass "calibration" during the day.

So, three short sentences by email during each work day, generally. If there's a problem (like a student talking about murdering their family or something in the essay), you do have to send an extra email about that.

Also, it's work from home. You do have to have a phone number available to be reached at, but I've pretty much never been called.

Just looked up some jobs on isolation, there is Fire lookout Gila National Forest, Service person Thule Air Base, Winter caretaker Yellowstone National Park, Crew member Concordia Station in Antarctica. Those are some neat jobs I guess

Night Shift Security Guard

Nightshift security guard here.
It's pretty nice but sometimes employees come in and I have to handle deliveries

dishwasher. pay is shit but you didn't write you're looking for a high pay.

did it in highschool. just stood by the sink washing dishes/cutlery and from time to time a busboy brought more dishes, no talking just work.

it give you a lot of time to think.

work in the morgue?
you can talk to the dead but they never talk back.

>leaving a 4channer alone with a dead body

Accounting.

I worked night audit at a small hostal during low season. Literally browsing the internet for 8 hours while stealing snacks from the cafeteria.

You need to get lucky and find the 'right' hostal though, some are very stressful.

>it give you a lot of time to think.

About killing yourself? kek

Bookkeeping isn't accounting buttercup

A bunch of jobs can be done remotely but most of them require regular meetings to get done. In software enterprise (TM) agile technology, we call some of these meetings "standups" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-up_meeting -- a type of meeting where everyone stands up with the aim of forcing people to keep things short and to the point.

In my experience, if you work any of these jobs you'll be talking to managers and your team a lot of chat + also video conferences whenever they're needed. It doesn't really add up to that much interaction so if you're the type who like to be able to tune out bullshit to get stuff done -- then there is honestly no greater way to work.

I worked remotely for around 3 months at my last job and it was glorious. Completely in control of my schedule. Often I just froze the clock and fapped or played video games [spoiler]looking back, you probably don't want to do that[/spoiler]. Anyway, if you want a remote job there are a lot of industries that favor it. Software is the obvious one, but there are probably other professions.

Will bump with my advice on getting remote jobs

Here are my key points on scoring a high-paid remote job:
1. Have at least one reference on your resume at a good company. If you don't have a reference it won't get past HR so you won't even get an interview. (Feel free to build up a fake company, desu, but an actual startup with press will be a hell of a lot better.)
2. You don't need a degree but you do need a Github. You should contribute to open source projects and be the author of at least one thing that's useful.
3. You need to media whore as much as possible. This means only trying to solve sexy problems like "decentralize [x]" or "augmented [y]." The press won't write about boring shit, so start out by inventing new ideas and getting publicity. FYI: you do want to attention whore on social media too and whatever channels you can think of.
4. You should write papers that are impressive. This means coming up with new theories and ideas for certain fields + perhaps IRL experiments. The papers -- if they are novel enough -- will help you get press and build up your portfolio.
5. Writing books and articles helps a crap load. If you write a book on a new field then you can basically claim to be an expert.

HR will check the first reference if they're not too lazy. At this point there is usually a phone screen (tons of crap developers don't even get this far.) What you need to remember here is that you need to be well informed about WTF it is the company does + also show passion about the company. HR will push for a salary number if they're bold enough -- give them an industry range.

Next, you'll end up being set a skills test. These are quite tricky, desu, and there's really no way to bullshit here. You'll need to have practiced for a few months prior to even applying for a remote dev job because the requirements for algorithmic tests on HackerRank and Codelity aren't immediately obvious and take getting used to.

If you made it this far: congrats, but there's still more interviews.

I worked in a building by myself for 10 years in a water treatment plant.

You're now going to have interviews with other engineers with the sole purpose of determining:
1. Whether these guys would actually want to work with you and
2. Whether you're not fucking useless.

To be good at 1 is easy, just act motivated and interested in other people and the job. Try not to sperg out too much and if you do -- don't lose your confidence. You should be very confident at every stage. 2 is harder. Most companies only want candidates with perfect scores so its not enough to "not know that one thing about language [x]" They're going to ask you everything about said languages and technologies so you need to actually know what the fuck you're doing.

If they're good they'll also ask you about engineering + computer science stuff, so it won't just be crap like: "how to do foobar in language X." Expect this approach more at big tech companies. Startups will probably only ask about specific technologies.

If you make it this far there will probably be a few more interviews with mangers and the like but here on it -- you just scored a remote software dev job.

Alternative ways in:
* Go for companies that aren't necessarily advertising as a lot of places need developers but only go for targeted approaches since almost every developer is fucking terrible
* Try find startups that only just got funding because they might not have a HR department yet. If the "CEO" emails you when you apply for a job then chances are this is a good place for you to grow your career + contribute a huge amount of value to the world
* Opportunities are fucking every where so make sure to advertise your services

Alternative notes:
* Being a specialist in something is how you will make money. Generalists don't make anything
* Don't list that you know X, Y, Z technologies because you will look like a fucking retard. Imagine if you wanted to hire a plumber and he autistically listed the names of all the tools he could use and his favorite types of plumbing techniques.

>Don't list that you know X, Y, Z technologies because you will look like a fucking retard. Imagine if you wanted to hire a plumber and he autistically listed the names of all the tools he could use and his favorite types of plumbing techniques.
This is a wonderful example.

Quality post senpai

How did you start?
Care to give a few tips to someone who's been recently interested in the field and is just starting to study it?

Thanks in advance.

Kekking pretty hard right now
Shit, that got me good.

I think your dislike of people probably comes from being a bad person yourself and being around people reminds you of being a bad person and your social incompetence. I'm in the same boat

You could trade stocks.
I hear there's lots of people around here who are very successful at it.

You could work at glory hole to suck cock.
No word, no eye contact just suck it.
Pays bills good also

Bumping for this.

samefag

Yes obviously.

I never pretended to be two different people (obviously, since we have IDs here), but was merely bumping for someone to answer my question.

What are the top engineer jobs in the next 10~ years?

Is there still a big demand for software engineers or will higher skilled software engineering eventually get oursourced?
