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?

I make 200k (with my bonus) with 4.5 years exp in PA.

There is a lot more to PA than monkey work.

Just curious, what are hours/work-life balance like?

A lot of the jobs being listed here come with the caveat that you're working 60+ hour weeks and I think a lot of people lose sight of the $/hr when they see that yearly income.

30 to 60 hours a week.

I do tax consulting work (M&A, cross-border structuring, debt restructuring, etc.), so I'm always on the call. But I have a great relationship with a good number of partners in my group and the partners I answer to, so I get a lot of latitude as to how I get my work done.
