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?

Basically everything u/aluramen brought up. Just can't do it. And it's not because I don't try - it is a tough field and everybody struggles, but I struggle two or three times more than my classmates/colleagues. Not everybody has the same aptitude or interest in singing, visual arts, or sports, and the same applies to math/CS/any other field.

But there's literally no harm in giving it a shot. Like I said, pick up a textbook in discrete math/algorithms, attend a boot camp or two. Maybe you'll end up loving it, maybe not! No harm in trying.
