The 17 highest-paying jobs for people who are great at multitasking

If you pride yourself on being able to juggle multiple tasks at once, a job that requires you to sit at a desk and concentrate on the same task all day might not be the best fit.

Fortunately, there are a number of high-paying careers for multitaskers.

We recently combed through data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs, to find the jobs that have a high "time sharing" importance score. We then we checked the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to find which of those jobs pay an average salary of over $60,000 a year.

O*NET judges how important "the ability to shift back and forth between two or more activities or sources of information" is in any job, assigning each a score between one and 100. Positions that require more multitasking, like pilot or taxi driver, rank between 60 and 100, while jobs such as costume attendant and technical writer received scores under 25.
