• <p> Software engineer is a career that frequently appears on many <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/04/11/top-10-worst-and-best-jobs-this-year/">best jobs lists</a> with good reason, as more workplace functions are technologically driven. Software engineers are those geeky folks that come up with the computer programs and games that people the world over have come to love. And it's a good thing, too, that they don't mind a bit of isolation, seeing as writing code -- for perhaps hours on end -- can be a solitary enterprise.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $92,530*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/engineering?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find software engineering jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> Perhaps the archetypal introvert job, <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2010/12/01/accounting-jobs/">accountants examine financial records</a> and help ensure they are accurate and that any payments, including taxes, are paid. It can take a bit of putting-the-nose-to-the-grindstone concentration to ensure the job is done right -- and on time.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $61,690*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/accounting?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find accounting jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> Market research analyst isn't a title that rolls off the tongue, but it's a profession that many employers consider pivotal. <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/12/19/marketing-job-search-tactics/" target="_blank">Market research</a> analysts help companies to know where and how to sell their products. The job requires a high degree of focus to ensure that information is accurate for the market -- local, regional or national -- being targeted. Generally, market researchers spend much of their day in front of computers, collecting and analyzing marketing data and preparing reports.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $60,570*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/market+research?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find market research jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> Yet another computer-related job, the <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/10/07/becoming-the-best-graphic-designer-in-the-world/" target="_blank">graphic design</a> field has its roots in another activity ideal for introverts -- drawing. Graphic designers take ideas and convert them into visual creations, either on paper or computers. Their work can help companies build a memorable brand through the use of color, shape and size (corporate logos are an example) that can captivate consumers -- or, if done poorly, alienate them.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $43,500*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/graphic+designer?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find graphic designer jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> To some, the <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/05/27/need-a-job-what-languages-do-you-speak/" target="_blank">job of translator</a> may be a surprising entry on this list. Yes, translators are involved in communications, but because translators work with the written word (unlike their verbal counterparts, interpreters), they may spend hours poring over texts, ensuring that the meaning is being accurately translated from one language to another. Many in this profession enjoy the autonomy that is an integral part of job, a feature that particularly appeals to introverts.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $43,300*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/translator?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find language translation jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> It takes a special kind of person to respond to the myriad medical emergencies that human beings can find themselves in. People's lives often rely on the efforts of <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/12/22/jobs-where-people-work-the-most-for-the-least/" target="_blank">emergency medical technicians</a>, or EMTs, first responders who must quickly assess medical emergencies and determine the best course of action, including giving aid and transporting injured patients to hospitals.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $30,360*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/emergency+medical+technician?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find EMT jobs</em></a></p>
• <p> You might wonder why <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/03/05/65k-non-degree-jobs-that-women-dominate/" target="_blank">dental hygienists</a>, who&nbsp; spend the bulk of their days cleaning teeth, might need a gregarious personality. But an outgoing demeanor can go a long way toward relaxing anxious patients, particularly children or those who fail to heed repeated advice about the importance of regular brushing and flossing. Nearly all in this field work in dental offices and they work closely with other staff, including, of course, dentists.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $68,250*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/dental+hygienist?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find dental hygienist jobs</em></a></p>

• <p> <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/03/01/how-to-become-a-physical-therapist/" target="_blank">Public relations managers</a> are responsible for handling the public image of organizations or people.

• <p> By definition a people-focused profession, <a href="http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2012/03/30/hr-managers-confessions/" target="_blank">human-resource specialists</a> help to hire and train new employees and resolve issues affecting current staff. Those and other duties often require hours of &quot;face time&quot; with new recruits and existing employees, giving extroverts a leg up in this often demanding profession.</p> <p> Median annual salary: $52,690*</p> <p> </p> <p> -- <a href="http://aol.careerbuilder.com/jobs/keyword/human+resource?siteid=cbaol95int" target="_blank"><em>Find human resource jobs</em></a></p>
