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?

How do you get that much in accounting? I’ve been doing it in industry for around 5 years and make nowhere near that just wondering if I’m doing something wrong

Don't stay anywhere more than 2 years was the answer for me, sadly. Just got to 6 figures this year. About 8 years, 4 jobs, 15-20k salary increase per job change. It's a very good time to be looking in my area.
