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 for instance started out at b4 assurance for 2 yrs and then switched to internal audit in a tech company - the switch was what made it actually lucrative. While starting out in Accounting might not be as lucrative as e.g. being in engineering, if you do your job well and get promoted fairly consistently u can reach very high salaries imho.
