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?

Just a CPA license. Work can be busy, but nothing like work in the Big 4. I’ve probably worked one 70 hour week since I started here a year ago, 50-60 hours a week in the month after quarter end, and 40-50 all other times.

Agreed. The benefits are also terrible.
