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?

PM here also but I've been on vacation for the last two weeks. Your comment made me curious about my unread email count. I am anal about a clean inbox so when I left, there were only three unread emails I left as a reminder for something I wanted to take care of. As of now I am sitting at 2,347 unread mails. Figure I'll be around 2,600-2,700 by the time I decide to do actual work on Monday which is of course the obligatory 6-10hrs of meetings.
