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?

PowerPoint is 50% of my life, excel is the other 50%.

my life is getting my clients out of excel so they can work in a database and export it to excel

Databases are far superior, in my experience people are just afraid of them. For data storage, and regular processing I’ve moved this to access for myself, but as a company excel is still the powerhouse for us. We have commercial plugs ins too that allow us to access data but you don’t get the flexibility of owning the database like you can with access. I can do whatever the hell I want, and even blow it up if I’m stupid.
