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?

I always dislike PMs with no technical skills esp in the IT Industry. What are you a Paper Pusher or a secretary?

Technical skills as in coding? I've got none, can't code even though I can read it and understand the logic easily. I do sales, presentations, managing timelines on delivery, projected costs, people management, writing down requirements, tickets creation, jira management and occasional QA to make sure that everything is working as intended, don't think I need coding skills for all these...

NOTE: Its a small company with small to medium projects having maximum of 15 people per project and usually about 5 to 6.
