How to approach it
The efficient route is to treat the question as a memory dump over occupational wage tables rather than a search for one clever reply. Pick a handful of broad sectors, then walk each one from entry-level titles up through supervisory and specialist tiers, because the median is what matters and the middle of a pay distribution sits higher than most people assume. Write down every title that surfaces, even the awkward compound ones, and keep going until you have several dozen candidates. Then prune: anything paid by the hour with overtime-dependent earnings, or any role whose headline salary is really a top-decile figure, is a weak submission. Breadth first, hesitation last.
Get a hint
Start with the broad families where six-figure medians cluster: licensed professions, engineering and applied science, health care specialties, senior managers, and legal or regulatory roles.
A little more
Go narrower than the household names. The reveal is packed with hyphenated specialties, niche inspectors, program directors and technical leads whose titles almost never come up in ordinary conversation.
One step further
Aim for a title that appears as its own line in official wage statistics, often a field word welded to a role word, and remember that public-sector and utility employers pay these salaries too.

Why these answers count
The scoring is a reminder that this puzzle rewards volume and specificity, not celebrity. Only one recorded answer reached the full 100, which means the reveal's top tier was reserved for a genuinely rare reply; the bulk of the credit sat at 85 for titles that are unusual yet clearly occupational, and at 60 for the merely plausible. Look at the 85-point band and a pattern appears: narrow compound titles such as Accelerator Operator, Accreditation Manager or Acoustician, plus institutional posts like Bureau Chief or Campus Director. These are real jobs with real payroll data behind them, but almost nobody names them at a party, so the crowd-sourced rarity score stays high. Familiar six-figure staples presumably clustered so densely that they fell to the lower bands, since a title everyone types is worth little. The practical lesson: one odd, verifiable specialty outscores a page of obvious ones.
