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?

So at 7.5 years I was promoted to manager which pushed me over. Prior to that I went from 40k at start to about 86k. As an accountant I would have topped out at around 100k. I got my CPA a couple months after promotion (already had 3 parts), but that didn’t change my salary.
