Tell the professions in which you actually get paid for just typing?
yaa of course typing is the skill as everyone knows how to do it. As when it comes to type with all ten fingers with 97 or 98% accuracy and to type any regional languages it becomes very difficult without proper training. And of course there are many jobs providing sufficient packages for typing; SSC CHSL. For example.
They even take skill test to check these abilities.
And as Mr. Bala said above it is also essential if u r a programmer.
All I wanna say, Typing is a skill and skills take time to develope. although one knows typing but there is need of proper training and repetition to avoid errors.
