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?

5 years ago I received an offer of 75k with a 10k signing bonus from Raytheon. I ended up declining and accepting a lower paying job because I didn't want to move to Tuscon.

I really hate the heat and grew up in a coastal town, so the hot desert would be a huge change for me. Loved touring the facilities.
