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?

plot twist: the company is selling the knives and they expect you to do product demos with your prize.

Definitely did that and it did help me sell more lol.. But I was in college and didn't need knives so it was fine. After I quit that because it was terrible I had a full set of knives that my wife and I enjoy now.

Sales is 100% fake it till you make it. Managed to get myself into a management role, all the while barely hitting KPI's and hating actual sales the entire time. Answer your phone and buddy up with other high ranking employees and you're set.
