Don’t settle for a job that makes you unhappy. Explore new opportunities that align with your interests and values. Good luck on your job search!
The best job that pays well where you can work alone is probably engineering. Or, you could just get a job managing a smaller team, but you are always going to be around people with that one.
With a strong focus on things rather than people, I think you may be looking at accounting.
Luckily for you, many companies tend to cheap out on comms people, so there’s a good chance you’d be a team of 1.
Honestly. If you get certifications for Google ads and Meta ads and stuff – or even just watch a bunch of YouTube videos – you can make pretty good money. You’ll need to work hard to generate your first clients, but then you’ll be doing pretty well. I’ve had friends that charge $10k+/month just for running ads for companies. They do it remotely. They have one or two meetings per week with their clients. So long as they are generating sales – no one really bothers them. It’s absolute dog shit work – but a lot of it just becomes maintenance after a while and moving money around.
A trucker
Software development, IT Server Management
Trade jobs i.e. electrician, plumber, carpenter.
Once you set yourself up you can work out your own truck dictate and choose who you work with/for.
Drug dealer. Black market arms dealer. Running an Etsy shop.
Amazon is a terrible place to work, even in management, because of the micromangerial culture. A lot of Area Managers at Amazon get burnt out and end up leaving.
Supply chain/operations management can be a very rewarding career for the right company.
I work for a fairly small third party logistics company as an operations supervisor and love it. I love my team, and I get the chance to truly help people. Before my degree, I was on the other side, working mundane and, honestly, dead end, warehouse jobs to survive. It gives me the chance to be exactly what I would’ve wanted in a manager when I was in my team members’ shoes.
You won’t ever work truly in a silo.
But being in B2B sales, you’re accountable to your quota and that’s it. Sales is the definition of competition. It’s just you and your leads and ability to close deals.
Individual contributor sales reps can make more than their Vice President.
I feel you, manager at Amazon, I hate this shit, plus the amount of work load
Try FedEx, or UPS, do a bit of searching, one of them pays very well for delivering parcels. Your background would probably carry some weight and I think one of them is up to 100K. Also if they treat the drivers well, there’s probably a decent logistics and management path.
Maybe you can be a manager at a bank. You have experience in managing people and tasks. You wouldn’t have to deal with boxes and as an extrovert you would be able to talk to all different customers. Btw I know you said alone but I don’t think there are many places that pay a good salary where you are working alone. A manager of a bank you would have a smaller team and maybe have an assistant depending on the bank and would have time alone as well throughout the day. Better hours and off on Sundays and holidays. Good luck to you! I hope you find a job that you can enjoy.
Fire watch for the forestry department

Analyst role, remote work have been trending for these types of job. Get some certs to strengthen your resume and you should be good to go
This is the entirety of working adult life. No matter what you do. Trust me.
If you’re in a city with lots of tech companies, I recommend pivoting into Data Center logistics. Great work life balance and a lot less demanding + great pay. I work with Oracle and currently make $85k a year at 23. I could be pulling in more but I did not negotiate (rookie mistake). I don’t have a degree but it helps.
for something not fancy you don’t need a degree for – grave shift. night audit for a hotel or security would probably be the least workload & depending on company you can make decent money. warehouse/merchandiser might be more money off the bat but it’s a lot more work.
Semiconductor manufacturer or supplier for another componeny manufacturer, small scale preferably. Can get 3-4 twelves of some tens, easy work in a very clean environment. You don’t do any major cleaning, just clean up after yourself. 1000 ppm clean room is what you’re really looking for.
Constant air flow, limited contaminant count so super clean air. All you do is progressively more complex machinery.
I only had 6 years in retail/restaurants and a basic understanding of torque tools. I worked for 1 for four years. And I can say just doing the assembly was the easiest job possible.
Can keep to yourself? Do a ton of assembly relatively solo?
It’s great.
I’ve heard that Amazon is one of the worst companies to work for. Perhaps you just need to find a new employer?
Garbage porting is good. I did that for my nightshift job after dayshift, but can usually be any time of day or any amount of hours depending on company you sign with. I’d just work 7-10pm each night 5 nights a week. Just getting the trash from each apartment unit and bring it to the compactor. Great exercise and was an extra $1,000/mo approximately.
Sorry to be a downer, but in this economy that is a unicorn job (right now). Software Engineering, Data Analytics, etc are probably close to what you want, but everyone is studying that field now. And with the great layoffs, all the people with corporate experience are snagging up those entry level jobs.
You can do it, but I would suggest learning (tons of math involved with SWE) on your own at first, building a portfolio, and also being prepared to sell your Software Engineering or Data Analytics services as a contractor on Upwork or your own website to get experience on your rez.
Other options would be Project Management/Corporate Training which are closely related to what you’re doing now, just not nearly as physical and can be done from home. You’d still be dealing with employees though. Or starting your own small business while you keep some income coming in. That will give you the most flexibility, but it is a gamble.
Wishing you the best!
