If you've got the writing bug, you don't necessarily have to bank on being a starving writer for the rest of your career.
In fact, there are plenty of well-paid jobs in a range of fields that require excellent writing skills.
We checked out the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, and looked at salary data on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' website to find positions with a median annual salary of more than $55,000 that require writing skills.
O*NET ranks how important "the ability to communicate information and ideas in writing so others will understand" is in any job, assigning each a "writing importance level" between 1 and 100, where a higher score indicates more writing skills are required. It also breaks down each occupation's projected growth from 2014 to 2024.
Here are 14 well-paying positions with a writing-importance level of 81 or higher and a projected growth of at least 2%:
