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?

Or be like me: a non-accountant who’s good at explaining computers and accounting software to accountants.

One of my profs said if you can do both programming and accounting, you can get away with essentially anything because you are irreplaceable.
