Love the English language and words? Have a solid command of English grammar and a broad vocabulary?
Don't think that your chosen field of study precludes you from lucrative jobs. Your college major won't determine your professional destiny. And even Silicon Valley is waking up to the value that humanities majors bring to the table. But what jobs will allow you to make the most of your English degree while still earning a large salary? Business Insider scoured the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, to find positions that place high importance on "knowledge of the English language" and pay an average annual salary of over $60,000. O*NET calculates how important "knowledge of the structure and content of the English language including the meaning and spelling of words, rules of composition, and grammar." is in any job, assigning each a score between one and 100. There are several jobs that place high importance on knowledge of English language skills that come with annual salaries of over $60,000. Unfortunately, many of the jobs on the list are postsecondary teaching roles — and academic gigs are notoriously hard to land. And other roles will require additional education, like OBGYN and general internist. But fear not, English language lovers — other jobs on the list are far more accessible and forecasted to include even more openings in the coming years. Here are a number of high-paying positions with an "English language" importance level of 90 or higher that are projected to grow by 2026: SEE ALSO: The 9 best jobs for people who love food DON'T MISS: 19 high-paying jobs for people who love history SEE ALSO: 14 high-paying jobs for people who love writing Training and development specialists  Training and development specialists design and conduct training and development programs to improve individual and organizational performance.
