Reddit user u/spicy_tuna_maki posed the question, "Those making $100,000+, what do you do?" Though we can all agree that $100k doesn't go as far as it used to, it's still very interesting to learn about different career paths and how they pay. The thread promptly filled with thousands of people sharing their various jobs, and in some cases, how they got there. Here's what people revealed:
1. "Mineral exploration geologist making $125K. I'm away six or seven months of the year though, which is hard."

2. "I am a doorman for a luxury residential building in NYC. I make $110K to $120K a year. It's the easiest and best job I've ever had."

3. "I'm a safety coordinator for a mid-sized city. Basically, I'm in charge of making sure all the departments (public works, police, fire, etc.) are following OSHA and other safety laws and regulations. I coordinate their training needs and complete audits to provide to our board of trustees. I'm also in charge of the city's insurance issues, meaning if one of our vehicles is in an accident, an employee gets hurt on the job, or a member of the community gets hurt on city property, I'm the one handling all the paperwork, filing the claims, and making sure people are being paid. It was a headache when I started, but once you fall into your groove, it's not a bad gig. I also get a take-home car, as I have to respond to incidents from home, even on my off time."

4. "I am an office manager. I order supplies, pay bills, arrange security cards, put things away, make sure we have enough coffee, and keep track of all our vendors. I make $125K."

6. "Financial advisor. Once you’re established with a roster of clients, the job is relatively easy. I work three days a week, 15–20 hours, and make about $150K. It’s taken 10 years of grinding to get here though."
