Full time employment: Posting here.
Nursing? I have had a few coworkers whose wives got burned out from their nursing job that they had to retire early.
Analytical job? My engineering work had been heavy on the analytical side that my title was occasionally "scientist". This meant I wanted to be left alone for days, if not weeks, to analyze data and solve some tough problems that others had failed at. It is not at all about going to meetings all day like some non-producers that I had to deal with. Just leave me alone, and I will find a solution. And I liked my work that way, and they paid me well for that. I don't think you are the type for this kind of work.

"or even other analytical type-office roles that require more engagement with others and persuasion"
I agree with NW-Bound, avoiding meetings and disengagement are much more productive that seeking more engagement. There are a lot of people who love to go to meetings to show off how much they are doing. (That is doing, not getting done) But in the end, it is the analytical guy, who finds ways to avoid these time wasting shows, and actually solves problems, who wins in the end, and actually gets the most enjoyment from his work.
