Avoid customer-facing trades like cosmetology and hospitality. Even within the same trade, commercial vs. residential work can make a huge difference for introverts. ### You can find anything you are looking for in a career in the world of skilled trades. Want something where you won't have to deal with people regularly (or at all?) One of the best things about starting a career in the skilled trades is that you can find something that works for every personality type and interest. So whether you dread dealing with customers, work better independently, or if you thrive in a team environment, there is something for everyone. ### What should I avoid? Even within the same skilled trade, you can find opportunities to thrive as an introvert or extrovert. That said, many construction trades will require you to work as part of a team, especially on the commercial side. This includes working on large projects like skyscrapers, infrastructure, airports, or other large scale public construction projects. If you function better working independently, you may find that working in trades on the more residential construction side. You can find these opportunities in skilled trades like plumbing, electricians, and carpenters. You may want to consider avoiding skilled trades like cosmetologists, and both the hospitality and medical fields, as all of those will require very regular interaction with people.
