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?

Man i have a BS degree in accounting. Didnt get selected for B4 internship or job after graduation. Needed to work tho so i worked at a warehouse and assisted the controller 1 day a week doing quickbooks. Never had the confidence with mediocre GPA, feared rejection. Im 25 now and want to change my life. Been out of work for a while. Where do i even start from here?

Everyone hiring right now. Try to get a role at a smaller public firm, stay there for a year and apply to b4 ( if you want to go b4 route)
