What are some career fields for someone with good “spatial reasoning” skills and weak “verbal reasoning”?

Whenever I take any IQ tests I seem to have pretty strong spatial reasoning skills (the ability to think in 3d). However, my verbal skills are very poor. It takes forever for me to even begin to remember a new word or phrase. What are some careers that could work for me? I already finished a degree in Computer Networking and that requires way too much terminology, so that is out of the question. Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Graphics design, interior design, and any of the visual arts would be good places to start. Web design might not be a bad idea either except that line of work is very saturated these days and it’s not easy to find work. Landscape design is an up-and-coming line of work, especially with golf courses and country clubs. Some of the engineering feilds might be a good match, too, as long as it deals with spatial relationships (engineering for roadways, drainage systems, etc) instead of mechanics or electrical.

    I’ve rated in the 80 % for spacial reasoning higher than most women, but am slow in processing math. I do well in troubleshooting and working with pcs, but the job market is saturated in this area. What would you recommend for a career change?
