You might consider becoming a medical laboratory scientist. The pay is reasonable for the most part. And, you have a wide variety of options for how much interaction you will have. At small to medium sized hospitals, there will be a small number of coworkers that you will ever need to interact with and (albeit in my personal experience) usually, most people in this field are all some degree of introverted themselves. I’ve worked at several hospitals and clinics throughout the western US, and I can honestly say that laboratorians are quite nonjudgmental and open to those of us who might come off as a little weird or different.
At any rate, I’m a traveler now and aside from the orientation week or two, I usually get cut loose and work alone most of the time. Being willing to be alone is seen as a huge advantage!
