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?

Only 4 days a week are billable (1 day a week on average is spent doing admin/random shit) and I only work 40 weeks a year (intense job needs lots of holidays) so my gross billing is more like $450-$480k a year which after expenses, rent, insurance and stuff comes to a salary equivalent of under $300k a year so I'm not rolling it in as you think.
