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?

same. CPA but did not take the big-4 route knowing I burn out easily (hence the pursue of FIRE).

Started reaching 6 figure around 30 and I'm pretty close to my FIRE ## so I haven't had motivation to increase my income significantly.

could have been making more if I had some big-4 experience? probably but what's guaranteed is I will hate accounting, working and life more by now.
