What kind of job would you suggest to a social retard? I'm talking about either someone who doesn't get along with anybody or someone who fears people so much that his social anxiety keeps him from doing anything (and the medication isn't helping him)...

Accounting.
Actually, what I'd suggest is that people who have a severe fear/dislike of social interaction should engage in some volunteer work that centres around team effort (think of it as social training wheels.) It's a debilitating "malady" to have (a few "intellectuals" I know are what many may call borderline sociopaths) but it's not insurmoutable. It's simply of matter of diving and doing something you know you don't like, but must be adopted for the sake of...well...yourself.

They go into Network Security. You can't talk to a Security Engineer without hearing the terms 'conduit' or 'access list' or them going into a giddy fit whenever they talk about subnetting.
It's fucking disgusting.

HEY! I was an infosec analyst and I never went into a giddy fit over subnetting! And it's "Access Control List" to be precise. Only slackers cut their terms down! Shortened methods irk me. <_<
Actually, I got tinkled pink every time I had to talk about the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in financial institutions. Usually no one had any clue what was going on and I could've made up a bunch of stuff if I wanted to. See, most people would rather nod in agreement even though they don't know what's going on rather than run the risk of appearing stupid.

Maybe we were talking about two different types of people? Infosec analyst != Security Engineer. All the Security/WAN Engineers I know are CCIE's and they can't hold a decent conversation without talking about different routing decisions/protocols/static routes and shit like that. I have also never heard anybody refer to an IP address with a 'slash' 16 or 24 or 32 or what-the-fuck-ever at the end of the last octet. An 'Access Control List' is completely different from 'policy routing via Access Lists', and they reside on totally different layers of the OSI model.
Mike, Network Security is muy different from Information Security. Both are quite necessary, but both are quite unique. :lol: I wasn't inferring that you have no social skills....

InfoSec actually crosses into Network Security a bit. Some of CISSPs I've met actually get their hands dirty unlike the majority of us who stand back and formulate policies. :lol:

Haha! GLB and HIPAA are covered in great detail on the CISSP exam and it was great fun picking the two things to pieces. :D

Pickin HIPAA apart is like giving a Green Beret a machine gun and telling him to shoot a dead horse.
The legislative process at work.

Government regulations compliance inspector/auditor - OSHA, EPA, etc. Civil service union rules expressly prohibit your personality defects which result in a complete inability to work well with others from being considered as a factor in denying you a promotion.
Also everyone you meet will hate you anyway no matter what your personality is like, cuz all you'll be doing is bitching at them that their chair legs are 1/8th of an inch too thin and their wastebasket needs to be 2 feet farther from the fridge, so no point in wasting someone friendly to do the job.

Something to do with computers I'd guess. Although I associate fairly well with computer geeks since I'm one myself...ah yes the joys of gaming, cartoons, and caffeine...beats sex anytime.

Late night janitor.
Just come into the office. Log into the computer. Surf porn. Do a little dusting, and little trash toss. Blame porn on the day janitor. :dance:
