Solitary Jobs?

Do you know of any occupations with little human contact, pls? Are there any solitary jobs left?
I have about 20 years to go until retirement but working in an open-plan office will kill me sooner if I can't escape.
Thanks for any ideas.

I work from home in IT, I barely see a soul. I'm on plenty of phone calls though. Working in an open plan office is a nightmare0

If you can wear them to work, try noise cancelling headphones they are a boon for the open plan office.
Like Ringo I work from home and love it and am so much more productive.0 -
writer, work from home admin/customer service/sales. unfortunately, a low level of human contact often (NOT always) means accepting a job that is below your skills/abilities0
