25 High-Paying Jobs For People Who Hate Math by Emmie Martin on Nov 13, 2014, 1:45 PM  Did you dread math class as a kid? If so, that feeling probably didn't go away, and you're likely not too keen on the idea of doing math as a career.
Luckily, there are plenty of high-paying jobs for those who can't stand the thought of crunching numbers and sifting through data all day. We combed through the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of occupations, to find positions with a median annual salary of over $65,000 that don't require heavy math skills. O*NET ranks how important "using mathematics to solve problems" is in any job, assigning each a "math importance level" between 1 and 100. Math-centric positions, such as mathematicians and statisticians, rank between 90 and 100 on the spectrum, while jobs such as massage therapists and actors are under 10. Here are the highest-paying positions with a math importance level of 31 or less.
25. Philosophy and Religion Teacher, Postsecondary  Median salary: $65,540 Math importance level: 28 These professors teach courses in philosophy, religion, and theology at the university or graduate level. The title includes both teachers primarily engaged in teaching and those who do a combination of teaching and research.
