What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

Not a six figure earner (yet) but I manage a multi-decade forecast model for a multi-billion dollar project in a massive Excel workbook for work. I have the associated debt service forecasts in three other sizable workbooks. As you can imagine using a VPN to connect to the office is not fun.
