17 high-paying jobs for people who love history
[parthenon greece vacation tourists]Weekend Wayfarers/Flickr You know what they say — those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it. That being said, history buffs aren't necessarily doomed to a life of subpar wages, despite the anti-humanities naysayers. If you're dead set on pursuing your passion and entering a field that involves history or archaeology, you've actually got a couple of options when it comes to well-paid jobs. 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 over $60,000 that require an extensive knowledge of history. O*NET ranks how important "knowledge of historical events and their causes, indicators, and effects on civilizations and cultures" is in any job, assigning each a "history importance level" between one and 100. Judging from this list, it's mostly academia or bust for history lovers. Sadly, historians themselves didn't make the cut — as the median pay for that job was $55,800 a year. Here are 17 high-paying positions with a history-importance level of 48 or higher: PARK NATURALISTS usacehq/Flickr MEDIAN SALARY: $61,110 HISTORY IMPORTANCE LEVEL: 74 Park naturalists plan, develop, and conduct programs to inform public of historical, natural, and scientific features of national, state, or local park. ARCHAEOLOGISTS roanokecollege/Flickr MEDIAN SALARY: $61,220 HISTORY IMPORTANCE LEVEL: 98 Archaeologists conduct research to reconstruct record of past human life and culture from human remains, artifacts, architectural features, and structures recovered through excavation, underwater recovery, or other means of discovery.
