Changing careers means guessing which of your skills carry over and what the new title pays. This table answers both at once: 1,016 occupations, one row each, with the eight highest-importance skill statements from the O*NET 31.0 Database joined to the BLS OEWS May 2025 national median wage. Master columns: soc_code, BLS title, onet_code, onet_title, job_zone, wages_median (annual), wages_median_hourly, total_employment, soc_row_count and wage_repeated flags, and skill_1 through skill_8. 956 rows carry a wage, 910 carry all eight skills. Median pay $64,950, range $30,890 to $559,030. A second file holds the same skills in long form, 7,280 rows, so you filter on one skill and sort by pay. Troubleshooting appears in 77 skill sets, Programming in 15. Public Relations Managers take a $146,910 median and Writers and Authors $76,910, on six shared skills out of eight. The 76 SOC codes that split into several detailed occupations repeat one wage across 225 rows. Both flags ship in the file, so a headcount sum stays honest.
