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?

Day to day is pretty mundane. Goal is to close the month for financials so it’s putting together journal entries and performing reconciliations. I’m in management so it’s reviewing payroll, approving AP, posting JEs, then closing the month and preparing financial reports for review. Research variances and provide explanations. It’s repetitive but not too bad.

The fuck I do that as a staff accountant and make way less. Although, it’s a nonprofit and only work 35 hr/week. Sounds Cush, congrats!
