What jobs are good for those who overanalyze everything?

<p>bankers love people with attention to detail</p>

<p>Investment banking. Quadruple-checking is the norm. If you can handle the anywhere from 60-120 hour work weeks.</p>

<p>

As a banker I would say we do have attention to detail and we do quadruple-check, but there isn’t much in the way of over-analysis, it is more of an anal retentiveness.

</p>

<p>Yea, good point – that’s a better characterization.</p>

<p>

In general I would say over analyzing isn’t good for any career, because it ■■■■■■■ decision making. In the workplace decisions have to be made, action needs to be taken, if it is the wrong decision then you reevaluate the scenario and take another step.

<p>Well said as well.</p>

<p>How are your math skills? are you a math head or a verbal head?</p>

<p>If math, consider Marketing Science - you will need some skills such as SAS, or how to run forecasting models but you can be a real geek.</p>

<p>Some places require an advanced degree (Masters or PhD in Math or Computer Science or some other geeky degree) but others will take BAs.</p>

<p>Also, if you are considering an advanced degree, try Epidemiology. That can lead to a career in Health Outcomes, which is a burgeoning field.</p>
