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?

Im in public at 105k after a recent raise. Public is short staffed and all firms have been providing nice raises to retain people this year

I was mainly being sarcastic lol. I left public three years ago and it did seem like shortly after that the industry started going through some changes. And obviously as a result of what Covid did to the labor market, salaries in a lot of industries have gone through the roof.
