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

Change jobs for pay jumps. Annual raises are nothing compared to new job pay jumps.

If you don't have a CPA you really should go get it. Bookkeepers are replaceable but CPAs are the ones employed to do the replacing by pursuing more efficient process and automation.
