Best Careers for Shy People

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Learn more about careers that tend to embrace internal thinking over social interaction. 
 
Are you an introvert looking to find your place in the working world? You're in luck. There are actually a variety of jobs out there that are geared toward the less-than-social. 
Career coach Curt Rosengren recommends that introverts look for careers more focused on the internal process. 
"Envision doing something where a majority of the time is spent doing things in your head," says Rosengren. "An introvert would feel more comfortable and enjoy the solo time." 
Ready to find your career match? Check out these five career options that just might embrace your introverted qualities. 
<h3>Career #1 - <a class="title" href="http://match.education.yahoo.net/school-match/?commandName=inquiry&programCategoryId=7000&programSubcategoryId=7002&svkid=1LG0K&usid=8b78a74b-51bf-4dc7-ae72-67bd0fe7858f">Computer Programmer</a></h3><img class="inline_image" src="http://images.vantage-media.net/a/clients/YahooEdu/article/iblp_images/iblp_7002_100_151x185.jpg" /> 
<div class="inline_text">If you don't mind a position where the main interaction occurs between you and your computer, a career as a computer programmer could be a good fit for your introverted nature. 
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, computer programmers might spend time alone writing in computer languages like C++ and Java in order to create software programs. They're also the ones who test code and fix mistakes in the event of an error.

Education options: Ready to use your introverted qualities in the tech world? A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related subject - like computer programming - is often recommended, says the Department of Labor. However, the Department notes that some employers might hire those with an associate's degree.</div><hr class="inline_dottedline" /><h3>Career #2 - <a class="title" href="http://match.education.yahoo.net/school-match/?commandName=inquiry&programCategoryId=5000&programSubcategoryId=5001&svkid=1LG0K&usid=8b78a74b-51bf-4dc7-ae72-67bd0fe7858f">Medical Records and Health Information Technician</a></h3><img class="inline_image" src="http://images.vantage-media.net/a/clients/YahooEdu/article/iblp_images/iblp_5002_100_151x185.jpg" /> 
<div class="inline_text">Want to enter the health care field but prefer a more behind-the-scenes position? A career as a medical records and health information technician could be a good fit. 
Instead of being hands-on with patients, these technicians are generally more hands-on with patients' health information, making sure it's accurate, up-to-date, and accessible in paper and electronic systems, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. 
<a class="cta" href="http://match.education.yahoo.net/school-match/?commandName=inquiry&programCategoryId=5000&programSubcategoryId=5001&svkid=1LG0K&usid=8b78a74b-51bf-4dc7-ae72-67bd0fe7858f">Click to Find the Right Health Information Technology Program.</a>

<div class="inline_text">Looking for a creative outlet where you can work on your own? Consider a career as a graphic designer, where you might be able to eventually work from home - or even work on a freelance basis. This could mean more time for you to tap into your creative mind without the noise and commotion often found in an office. 
By mixing art with technology, graphic designers can communicate ideas to consumers by developing the layout and design for brochures, websites, advertisements, or other marketing visuals, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. 
<a class="cta" href="http://match.education.yahoo.net/school-match/?commandName=inquiry&programCategoryId=1000&programSubcategoryId=1003&svkid=1LG0K&usid=8b78a74b-51bf-4dc7-ae72-67bd0fe7858f">Click to Find the Right Graphic Design Program.</a>

As a network administrator, you might be responsible for organizing, installing, and supporting a company's computer systems, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. In order to keep the systems up-to-date, you could set up network hardware and software, gather information to measure the network's performance, and make the necessary upgrades and repairs, adds the Department of Labor. 
<a class="cta" href="http://match.education.yahoo.net/school-match/?commandName=inquiry&programCategoryId=7000&programSubcategoryId=7003&svkid=1LG0K&usid=8b78a74b-51bf-4dc7-ae72-67bd0fe7858f">Click to Find the Right Network Administration Program.</a>

Queen tours Olympic Park after debut as Bond Girl

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Fresh from her star turn as the latest Bond Girl, Queen Elizabeth II returned to Olympic Park for an encore Saturday, while the usually biting British press gave a resounding review: We are amused.The queen visited with fawning British Olympians in the athletes village and rode to the top of the 377-foot (115-meter) Orbit tower beside the stadium, where on Friday night she officially opened the 2012 Games. Her husband, Prince Philip, and London Mayor Boris Johnson accompanied her. 
Dressed in a royal blue silk dress, crepe coat and matching hat, the queen could be heard remarking at the views of the London skyline and countryside. She wore a brooch given to her in 1948 — the last time London hosted the Olympics and four years before her accession to the throne. 
In describing her role in the opening ceremony, created by director Danny Boyle, Johnson said the queen had told him she was "very, very impressed with the success of her first film appearance, her first dramatic venture. It was very funny and seems to have gone down particularly well with the international audiences." 
And, it seems, with the British media. 
The Guardian called the queen's appearance "one of the highlights of Danny Boyle's tumultuously inventive opening ceremony of the 2012 Games. ... Now, thanks to Boyle, we really have seen everything." 
"I was worried that there was too much self-parody, that the world might be laughing at us," wrote columnist Giles Coren in The Times of London. "But they were laughing with us. They were silently awed." 
The show-stopping moment featured the queen making her acting debut alongside Daniel Craig, who portrayed James Bond in a film beamed into the stadium. 
Boyle's production showed Bond striding into Buckingham Palace to escort his VIP guest to the Olympic ceremony. Many had expected a famous actress to play the role of the queen, and there was an audible gasped as the real-life royal was seen to swivel round in her desk chair and declare: "Good evening, Mr. Bond." 
Buckingham Palace confirmed that the 86-year-old monarch agreed last year to participate. The filming took place at the palace in March and April and featured two of the queen's corgi dogs: Monty and Holly. 
At the end of the film segment, two stuntmen dressed as Bond and the queen parachuted from a helicopter into the stadium, and moments later Elizabeth and Philip emerged in the stands. 
Boyle told NBC television that the queen had been a natural. "You don't have to tell her something twice," he said. "She picks it up straight away, about cameras and angles." 
The sequence has already provided the defining images of the games, according to the Daily Telegraph in Australia, where the queen also reigns. 
"A few hundred years ago director Danny Boyle could have been sent to the Tower for even suggesting such treason," the Sydney newspaper said. "But as if to show how far England and the monarchy have come in that time, Her Majesty not only let Boyle get away with it. She was actually in on the joke." 
The German newspaper Die Welt wrote that "often seen as reserved and unapproachable, the queen changed all that alongside James Bond." 
The queen offered more surprises Saturday as she met about 150 members of the British Olympic team. Spectators took in the scene from balconies draped in Union Jack flags. 
"For her to come through and meet the athletes, and see where we're living, it was amazing," said Rose Anderson, 24, a member of the women's basketball team. 
"She went inside one of the athletes' bedrooms and chatted to us. It was just awesome, especially after last night," she said. "Last night will never be topped. I'll never get an experience like that again, and then this will never be topped either." 
The queen also met athletes from other nations in the dining hall. 
"She's beautiful," said Jess Fox, who competes for Australia in the canoe slalom. "We saw her from afar last night in the stadium, but it was amazing to see her like this."</div>

Doctors at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh removed the tumor Wednesday. Hospital spokeswoman Susan Manko says The Great Khali, whose real name is Dalip Singh, is recovering well and is expected to be released over the weekend. The surgical staff says the tumor caused the production of excessive amounts of growth hormone, leading to Singh to grow to 7-foot-1 and 347 pounds. Failure to treat the problem can lead to cardiovascular problems. Wrestling star Andre the Giant, who died of congestive heart failure in 1993, had the same condition. Singh joined WWE in 2006 and earned the World Heavyweight Champion belt the following year.

Man In Court For Kidnaping His Own Son

<img src="http://cache.jezebel.com/assets/images/39/2011/10/xlarge_crime.jpg"/> Ameen Abubakar, 35, of Kurmin Mashi Quarters, Kaduna, was on Friday arraigned before a Kaduna Sharia Court for allegedly kidnapping his three-year-old son, Khalifa. The complainant, Maryam Abubakar, of the same address, told the court that Abubakar, her former husband, had asked her to spend 40 days at her parents’ house after putting to bed. She further told the court that Abubakar had not visited or sent any money for her upkeep. “The only thing I received from him was a divorce letter without a reason,” she said. Maryam said that after the divorce, she discovered that Khalifa was missing and when the matter was investigated by the police, he was found in his father’s custody. Counsel to the complainant, Lydia Izan, said that it was the responsibility of the father to take care of his child and urged the court to direct him to refund what is due to the mother. Counsel to the accused, Sani Sanusi, however, argued that the allegation was baseless. “The father has been taking care of his child within his capacity as a tailor and he cannot carry responsibilities beyond his earnings,’’ he said. Sanusi added that the complainant was making demands that were beyond the capacity of her former husband and urged the court to strike out the case as there was no provision in Sharia Law that says “we should feed our children with what we don’t have’’. Sanusi further demanded the sum of N50, 000 compensation for time wasted. The judge, Usman Abubakar, said that the child should be brought to the court alongside three witnesses from both parties before delivering judgment in the case and adjourned the case to August 31.

According to Infomations Gathered By Nigeriafilms.com, Larry allegedly sold a 2009 model of the SUV to Naeto C’s former brother-in-law, Dumebi Kachikwu as 2012 model. This shady deal was exposed, as we learnt, when the ‘new’ toy was taken to a Porsche mart in Lagos after a suspicion that all was not well with the controversial car gift. At the mart, it was discovered that the Porsche Cayenne SUV believed to be a 2012 model was actually a 2009 model. This is against what Larry claimed the posh car is. Interestingly, sources are claiming that Larry is not new in this kind of shady deals. He was alleged to be in the act of defrauding innocent and unsuspecting customers by selling his stock-in-trade and outdated cars to them as in vogue cars. You will recall that D’Banj was first reported to have presented the wonder-on-wheel to Naeto C. Thereafter, Larry Onuegbu was reported to have bought the expensive car, but asked D’Banj to present it to the couple for him. However, later reports confirmed that the car gift was actually from Naeto C’s former in-law, Dumebi. The car gift is almost the most controversial wedding gifts presented at a celebrity’s wedding. It has also gotten much media attention than expected. On July 21, Naeto C was married to his wife, Nicole in Lagos where the controversial gift was presented...

Two Men In Surulere Magistrates' Court For Stabbing Another Over Girlfriend

<img src="http://img.naij.com/n/misc/04/e/knife.jpg"/> The police in Lagos on Thursday arraigned two businessmen who allegedly stabbed a man all over his body because of a girlfriend.

The prosecutor said that Paul demanded that the girlfriend should follow him. "He accosted her to ask of her mission in the hotel but the men said that the lady belonged to them, and that he cannot take her away.

He said that the suspect appeared at the New Hanover Magistrate Court on Thursday. “The woman was molested in her KwaSwayimane home in Emabheleni Ward, at 1.00 a.m. on Saturday. “Police have been looking for him for another case,” Mdunge said. Mdunge confirmed that the suspect had been one of the 3,150 granted presidential parole, and that police had been searching for him for his part in an armed robbery case before the molest. KwaZulu-Natal Correctional Services Commissioner, Mnikelwa Nxele, confirmed that the suspect had been released at the start of the presidential remission in June. Nxele said that the alleged molest was regrettable and sad.

After 15M Scandal, NollyWood Star Jim Iyke Claims To have Learnt His Lessons

<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FO_kPx5QVEM/T5dP60IaqZI/AAAAAAAACq0/6Dh2DcY7Y40/s1600/jim_518363675.jpg"/> Jail beckoned on controversial Nollywood star Jim Iyke but mother nature was kind and so, the Imo state born actor was saved. Thanks to his parents who rescued him from a determined Habiba Abubakar who wanted the tough talking actor jailed for allegedly conning her out of N15million. Jim Iyke’s parents had gone with cap in hand to beg the Abuja big girl to let by gone be while the case got settled out of court. Pronto, Habiba withdrew the case in a show of respect to Jim’s parents. But the dust of the rumble had hardly settled down when a bitter Habiba was quoted as lamenting to close friends that the stress and strain she suffered as a result of the matter, forced her to the surgeon’s table and knives, to take away the extra pounds and wrinkles she’d piled up during the period. *Jim Iyke When our correspondent visited Untamed Closet, Jim Iyke’s fashion house, it was a remorseful Jim who disclosed he’s learnt his lesson. “I’ve learnt to be silent over the matter. It would also be reasonable to apologize to Habiba for pushing her into embarking on plastic surgery”, he said. The actor who admitted to meeting Habibaba through his sister affirmed he made jokes out of Habiba’s tummy and shape, but had on no occasion advised Habiba to do any kind of plastic surgery. According to Jim Iyke “I’m playful and jovial, and because I can make fun out of anything, I had jokingly complained about Habiba’s size sometime in my family house. I crack the same jock even with my sister, and we all laugh over it. I don’t think the claim you alleged Habiba is making is actually true. How can she be claiming that I pushed her into the pain of plastic surgery? I really don’t have anything personal with her. My sister said Habiba told her something of sort, but I never believed it. I thought it was one of those gossips. Hearing it from you actually confirms that she said something related to that. But would you believe that I will advise a married woman against her wish to go for surgery? If she went through any kind of stress as a result of that, then I’m sorry”.

<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFkcekHaRZb8T6ZuVE_7cOjmOX4QqcQ6pP3VHBEuxAAthU-InXxMTSQQYKKhnVk4wYllwMe8xClrAzh23KeyOMMNQ26lOYHAUPBk_a7d6F-ZjuOOQVS5DH2gD1dUvqaGj4g0muzh-oTbfQ/s320/abalola.png"/> He predicted the recent Dana plane crash, which claimed the lives of over a hundred and fifty Nigerians. Famous man of God and preacher, Prophet (Dr) David Babalola, General Overseer of His Presence Redemption Ministries International, Ikeja, Lagos has said that a young president would emerge from Edo State to offer a lasting panacea to this the troubled entity called Nigerian. He however warned about another yet-to-come tragedy.The cleric at a recent media chat said that the danger is not yet over for the aviation industry as another disaster would take place in no distant time. “At the risk of being labeled a prophet of doom, I want to warn that there is a more serious disaster looming in the air space of this country,” Prophet Babalola cautioned.He further forecasted that two airlines, one of which is owned by an indigene of Delta State, would have their licenses withdrawn as an aftermath of the coming disaster. Nevertheless, his message is not entirely apocalyptic. There was a ray of hope concerning his foresight about the state of the nation particularly with regard to the spate of incessant killings by terrorists in the northern part of the country.In spite of the violence, he proclaimed that God will bring back peace to the country. He said: “I do not know how he is going to do it but he has revealed to me that, he has decided to bring peace to the country,” he affirmed. Below is a catalogue of his prophecies, some of which according to him were revealed to him as far back as January 7, 2012. 1. Another air crash is imminent on or before December 2012 2. Death of one of the state governors in the country. 3. Demise of a serving Minister in the country. 4. A man called Mr. Douglas, working with Mr. President should pray because God wants to heal him for a purpose. He needs to avoid some things to guarantee his total restoration. 5. A serious flood at Lekki, Parkview and Oniru areas will claim many lives 6. There should be prayers for Queen Elizabeth against untimely date. The UK should expect two Kings in quick successions. 7. Ministers of God, a prominent general overseer and a woman of God, will pass on this year. Not for evil but for good; as their assignments on earth has been concluded. One is from the east; the other is from the west. 8. President Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson of Liberia should pray against sickness. She will be terribly sick. 9. A young president by revolution is coming from Edo State to bring peace forever to our nation, Nigeria. 10. The Lord told me, the only airline that is safe to fly is Air Nigeria. 11. We should pray for a former Senate president for sound health. 12. The Lord revealed to me that Central Bank governor, Lamido Sanusi and Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State are planning to become leaders of this country as President and Vice President.
