A writing-heavy career isn't ideal for everyone.
While most forms of communication are important in many occupations, there are still plenty of careers that don't require prodigious writing abilities.
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 that don't place an emphasis of writing and come with a median annual salary of more than $50,000.
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 lower score indicates less writing skills are required. It also breaks down each occupation's projected growth from 2014 to 2024.
Here are seven well-paying positions with a writing-importance level of 44 or lower and a projected growth of at least 2%:
