Best job for an Aspie

Post Reply New Topic

If you aren't a computer geek that is.

Insurance administration. Best job, hands down. Why?

1) Routine, routine, routine.

Insurance is the same no matter who is handling it. It has to be because the risks are the same. Learn it in one office and you can carry your skill to any office in the country.

2) Definite lack of stimulation:

Not a lot of excitement, stimulation or noise in an insurance office. Most don't even permit radios and some have "scent" prohibitions.

3) Numbers - count ‘em…we got numbers.

Insurance is about counting; policy numbers, premiums paid, cost adjusting. Like numbers? Insurance is the place for you.

4) Very little social interaction

Now this one is tricky. I have lost two jobs in insurance offices because I was "not a team player" - by that they meant "kept to himself". But this usually occurs only in the smaller places like brokerage offices. In the big offices or the head offices, keeping to yourself and working obsessively is an asset that earns rewards and praise.

5) You probably won't be the "strangest" one there

Believe it or not, during my absolute worst period with AS, when I didn't bathe regularly and wore clothes 20 years out of date, I still was not the strangest dude in an insurance office. There were people who had been in the business for 30 years who - I swear - were turning into gnomes. People talked about them behind their backs - TO ME!! Usually I was the one being talked about - so it was quite a change.

So if you haven't found your niche yet. Go to insurance young man, go to insurance. A quick, 6 month business school course, a few computer training courses in EXCEL and WORD, learn to type at least 45 wam and start looking.

Pharmacy techican

1) limited social interaction with the public

2) Continous learning

3) Computer!! !! !!

4) set procedures

Those jobs sound extremely boring. I want something where I can learn new things on a regular basis.

There are people who get paid to summarize medical records. Heavy reading but lots of new words to learn!

I actually want to be an Economist lol.

I'm just goin for data entry assistant personally, cause my real dream job is to ultimately be able to live off my music, hey I can dream can't I? I've continuously walked out of jobs in the past getting overwhelmed by people, and this one is easy for me, which may be important to you.

You've gotta ask yourself, is the job means to another career, is it a stepping stone, or is it what you want to do for the rest of your life?


I might achieve it!

Eventual goal, living in cabin, in the hills, sending music to people through cyber space, coming into town/s to play to the people..

Librarian should be a good job. Terrorist too, for that kind of an aspie who isn't restless and too nerdy.

Only if he works on his own and doesn't take orders, like the Unabomber.

Oh, Theodore, my hero!

I'd love to work in a Toy Factory, putting Routemasters together.

That would be the perfect job for me.

Respectfully disagree on point #1. My wife is a pharmacy tech at Walgreens and 90% of the time she is dealing directly with customers or on the phone with insurance companies.

Well I was meaning a hopstial! I'm currently in community.
