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?

Looking at this thread is making me realize that I need to leave my company ASAP. I’ve been at this public accounting firm for 3 years and my salary has gone from 55k to 63k. I get OT pay, but the bonuses are bad.

How do people find time for job search and interviews while working 60 hour weeks like they say here?
