What do you think would be a good career for people who have anxiety or even social anxiety?

A job that does not require interaction with others. You're going to have to be more specific about skill level, experience, background and industry if you want a more concise answer.

management !
For best effect be sure to drink lot's of coffee

They have anxiety medication, so you can take medication and work what job you like unless I am missing something.

Well I have a BS in biomedical science and due to anxiety and social anxiety I have had a very hard time finding a career path after school. I was pre-med originally and by the time my senior year rolled around I decided against going to med school. I forgot much I learned from undergrad and I'm not even sure if I want to stay in the field.

Something where everybody is anxious anyway. Like the bomb squad.

I think you'll find people with general anxiety in just about every field. I don't think there is a perfect field for anxious people.
I have anxiety and I find most types of work distract me from anxiety. The only time it really gets in my way is at meetings, especially larger meetings. I'd say find work in a field you love, and you'll find ways to work around the anxieties.
