After reading about your past, I believe you earned six figures?? And how outspoken you are on this forum. I seriously doubt you are a hardcore introvert!!
A lot of people equate introversion with shyness, but that's not what it means at all (from a cognitive function perspective). Introversion / extroversion refers to where you get your mental energy -- from within, or from external sources. An introvert gets his energy from within, meaning I have to spend significant amounts of time alone to recharge. An extrovert can't do that. When he or she stays inside for a significant amount of time, they become depressed. They get energetic around other people. I become drained by interacting with people and will eventually run and hide.
According to recent studies, extroverts tend to make a lot more money. It's not impossible for an introvert to make money, though. It's just a bit different. If you follow the MBTI, each type has their strengths. You have to learn how to capitalize off those strengths. INTJs, for example. Their incredible pattern making ability (Ni) and ability to organize that data into systems that will affect the real world (Te) means that they become the absolute expert at whatever they do (ala Shannon and my former martial arts instructor).
I'm an INTP. We're actually a lot different than INTJ's -- our cognitive functions are reversed. I possess Ne and Ti. In other words, I absorb massive amounts of data through extroverted intuition (Ne) and categorizes that data through introverted thinking (Ti), the difference is, I'm fitting that data into an INTERNAL framework -- meaning that I'm capable of creating some pretty astounding mental links between concepts. I have little desire to actually affect the real world. Which means, my greatest offering to the world is theory, not the application of the theory.
Think of it like this: Tesla was an INTJ. Einstein was an INTP.
That means, I had to find a career that would let me stay detached and observe, make mental leaps, theorize but not apply or execute the theories (that's the P coming into play, we suck at execution). That's how I became a marketing executive. I'm really good at pulling conclusions from data and then passing them off to another type (I almost exclusively hired xSTJ's because of their astounding work ethic) to execute.
Two years ago (and I probably shouldn't be saying this because it identifies me), I took six months of a company's visitor traffic (from Google Analytics) and created a formula that detailed how they should write their content to maximize page views. I predicted 150k in a month.
They wrote the article. Generated 1.4 million visitors in a week. I charged them an insane amount of money after that, haha.
