Singers need to memorize all the lyrics to their songs.
Can you recall what you ate for lunch last week? Do you remember the names of most people you meet? Do you know every word to every song you've ever loved? If so, you probably have a great memory - and this is a very valuable trait in the job market, since many jobs require workers to memorize words, numbers, pictures, and procedures.
We recently combed through the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, to find the positions with a high "memory importance" score. We then looked at salary data on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website to see how much each position pays.
O*NET ranks how important "the ability to remember information" is in any job, assigning each a score between one and 100. Positions that require a lot of memorization receive a higher score.
Here are 18 jobs with a memory-importance score of 53 or higher:
