Alright, I'm 22 and my time at the university is almost over. What's freaking me out is that, even though I've had a miserable time functioning in the school environment, school is probably the best place to make friends and get away with poor socialization skills (so long as you pay your tuition, they're not likely to boot you out of school for anything short of chasing your classmates around with a battle axe!). In the work place though, I've got a feeling that my poor social skills will be much more aparent. Firstly, in all the job ads I've seen, they're always looking for "good communication and interpersonal skills"...these terms are a bit vague, but inspite of that, I'm positive that I don't got em! Secondly, I think it would be pretty hard to cover up the fact that you're a social retard at work if you really have difficulties functioning around others--this semester I dropped a physicis class I was taking for the sole reason that I couldn't do any work in the physics lab where I had to work with a lab partner. Some people with better social skills than myself, could probably cover up the shitty work they do with a bit of smooth talking, but I doubt I could do that.
So, what kind of jobs do you know of out there where you don't really have to deal with people all that much and can basically work in islolation? If you're worried about these things as well, please post some of your reflections on the matter, because feedback from any source would be as valuable as gold for me at this point!
