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?

I'd guess they're very good at legally finding loopholes in taxes for multinational corporations

That would be a tax attorney not an accountant.

Could also just as easily be a CPA. Just saying. Accounting isn’t just reporting and auditing bc and filing taxes. Lots of specialization including foreign taxation.
