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?

Sit down and write out a plan. Get some certifications maybe or continuing education credits. Pay for linkedin pro and connect with job recruiters. Lots of places hiring right now but you gotta start moving. Good luck

Ive always liked information systems. Would it be pretty crazy to get my cisa before ever working a legit accounting job? Wouldnt i have to have my cpa as well? I know these are rookie questions here i really appreciate your response thanks for the encouragement!

Sorry- not in accounting. I actually work in environmental insurance broking. But I wrote to you as someone who felt stuck for a little while, and only got going later in life. The advice worked for me!
