12. Writer or Author: $60,250/Year
One of the more obvious careers for an individual who does not like to work too closely with others is a writer. Poets, creative writers, and lyricists are all included in the BLS’s definition of a writer. This career can involve creating scripts, essays, novels, short stories, poetry, song lyrics, or any other sort of original written work. As a writer, you do have to communicate with your editors and publishers and you also have to know how to communicate well with the public in your writing. However, as far as daily interaction with others goes, it does not happen often and primarily takes place via email or telephone (depending on your specific job).
