Anyone got any suggestions for a good job I can apply for?
I'm looking for a job that fits the following criteria:
1- No teaching
2- Nothing involving kids
3- Anything that minimizes my exposure to the general population. |

That's not too bad of an idea.
Well, that and Crab Whisperer.
Pity lighthouses are all on automatic now. |

Further qualifications are clearly in order, or perhaps learn a trade. The latter is impossible for me because I'm hopeless at those things (those who can, do....those who can't.....), but maybe you have some natural ability? You can do an MA or Phd in total remoteness, though frankly your requirement "Anything that minimizes my exposure to the general population" hardly suggests to the reader you're a man of propriety and good taste.
TEFL in Korea is essentially a glorified McJob, so unless you get quals.....see where I'm going with this? |

I have to disagree with you on this point. When I gradated from university I pledged I would never serve the public again. And stuck to it. Even when it got rough during the 1991 recession I rather took a job as a secretary than pouring coffee. Jobs serving the public isn't great for your career track. |

| I for one may not look askance at a cubicle for a long, long time. Seems a paradise compared to a half sized desk with a coworker right next to me and his stuff over flowing onto my desk... |

| Join the police!! You do have to put up with a lot of contact with the general public, but you can make up for that by beating them. |

I was thinking, when I posted my list up, that some dumbass was going to come along and say something obnoxious to serve as an example as to why I included criteria number three.
Justin Hale, you were that dumbass.
*golf clap*

Exactly.
Also, a lot of them are really annoying assholes.

A Trappist monk who makes Leffe Stout. Sort of like Thomas Merton. Just keep the fan away from the bathtub.  |

Well, you basically confessed to being antisocial, unfriendly, morose and surly. Those are hardly compatible with employable. Cleaning public toilets for a living back in Turdsville or working at McDonalds perhaps, on the other hand.... |
