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 wonder if you think this is an operational issue from a business stand point though? People obviously need software engineers and not everyone is going to be a rockstar. I often thought that myself as I pursue this profession. As long as I am good enough that people will pay me to create things, I can keep getting better because I enjoy it.

I think it's completely fine to have some who don't have the knack as long as you do have competent people to oversee. Best would obviously be if everyone was high-performing but it's hard for small and medium companies to recruit in this competitive market.
