Jobs that are Perfect for Introverts
Having a career that fits your personality type can be very beneficial in the long run. Not only can it make you happier but focusing on a field that’s a great fit can highlight your strengths and turn into a very lucrative career.
Due to my own personality type of being an introvert, I realized that I excel more in job roles that are not team driven and ones that allow me to work remotely. These roles allows me to tune out distractions and lets me dive into my work.
I thought it would be GREAT to compile a list of jobs that are PERFECT for introverts!

2. Sell FBA on Amazon
Back in 2014, I started selling on Amazon after reading an interview that The Selling Family did.

However, within a month and a half, I was still about to make a $7000 in profit! It was amazing!
Amazon FBA program is a great for introverts and those that want to design their own career. I plan to fully go back into selling on Amazon myself!
