If you're a talker, picking a job where you spend your days quietly behind a
computer can make you absolutely miserable. Just imagine Kelly Ripa or Katie
Couric crunching numbers in a cubicle. Talkers don't need to be constantly
engaged in conversation. However, having a social aspect to their roles will
make them more successful, because it taps into their natural talents. Choosing
the right job is key, and it's important to understand the social attributes of
a position before you start. If you love to talk, here are 10 fields to
consider:

Whether you're an account executive or work for a marketing agency, your
people skills are often on display. Most marketers need to convey a convincing
pitch -- whether within the company or to outside vendors -- and use their
talking skills to cement existing relationships and build new ones.
