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?

Nah nothing like that, unless maybe if you live in a high COL area. I make slightly under 100k but that's with 4 years in the field and with zero certs. Gov doesn't really care if you have a CPA or not.

i considered looking into those jobs, but from what ive seen on job sites as well there would be too much of a paycut for me to make the switch
