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?

How much does a CPA makes per hour. Curious because I have a CPA employer who pays me per hour GENEROUSLY (I am a CPA too but not in the US) . So wondering how much does he profits from outsourcing.

There would be lots of different levels a CPA could be at. For instance, a 1 year staff auditor at PA could be a CPA making 60k, to CFOs that have the CPA designation making big bank. If you check out r/accounting they’ll post salary surveys occasionally
