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?

Software development. We're all software developers here. True story.

That's not accurate! Some of us have to make PowerPoints about what the software developers are doing.

And some of us sell what the developers make.

Business Development, account executive, sales director. I'm in sales management but was making 6 figures when I was selling. SaaS sales would be what I would look into. If you have a lot of technical skills, look into sales engineer roles. What type of boot camp are you doing?
