19 jobs to avoid if you hate people

As it happens, we can't all, in fact, just get along — which can be bad news when you're looking for a job.

Some gigs require more social skills than others, and if you fall too far outside the realm of "a people-person," you'd be well-advised to simply avoid them.

To find these jobs, we averaged data from the Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, a US Department of Labor database full of detailed information on 974 occupations.

O*NET rates each occupation on a scale from zero to 100 on how much a job requires workers to be in contact with others and how much a job requires workers to be pleasant with others. We averaged these ratings to find which jobs had the highest overall score. 

Here are 19 jobs to avoid if good-natured interaction with others just isn't in your wheelhouse:
