im straight male
You have no hope then... unless you're Aaron Carter (you've been warned)...
being a straight male hasn’t stopped me (unless you’re squeamish about dudes watching your content) - unsurprisingly they’re the best payers

Plumber

Tree Cutter (near major city suburbs)
Water Damage Repair
Roofer
Swimming Pool / Tennic Court Builder
these all make over 200k/year
Union longshoremen. I knew people with high school diplomas and were making high 5 figures to 6 figures straight out of high school
I'm not sure why you are getting shit on here, because generally I think you are right. If you are able to get a union job out of high school and finish your apprenticeship, by the time you are 22-23 you will EASILY be making $100k. This is especially true of more niche "skilled" areas. (Think welding for example) Granted the ceiling for your salary if you stay in the union does not go up much, but there are plenty of guys who work IB analyst-like hours and can pull $300k plus/yr. People love to hate on blue collar jobs but if I wasn't in finance, I think it would probably be a great place to start.
Coming from a family of Union Carpenters $100k is definitely accurate but guy above said $200k/year which is not. Insanely awesome benefits as well which of course has significant monetary value.
Software or pool boy for a rich broad.

Maybe Data science? Not really sure if they hire UGs though. Leaving it to @Milton Friedchickenman" .
Data science job is difficult to get as an undergrad. Most places won't even look at your resume if you don't at least have a Master's degree.
But if you have enough coursework under your belt and lots of good project experience, then you might land an interview.

Software Engineers can get paid 6 figures out of undergrad. It's not an absolute, but it's pretty common if you put in the work.
Software engineers, actuaries (after 2-3 years though), pilots, petroleum engineers (drill baby drill), select chemical engineering jobs, select mechanical engineering jobs, and any type of high skill blue collar jobs with strong unions.
In super low cost of living areas, you're probably starting with high 5 figures. But you're definitely reaching 6 figures in 2-3 years.

In terms of total comp potential:
Anything in Tech (only in the main US tech hubs and only at established name brands or well-funded startups - also tech roles at some finance firms): PM, SWE, DS/A, MLE, UXD/PD, UXR, TPM, RS / AS, PMM
Anything in High Finance (at major firms): IB, S&T, PE, GE, VC, HF, AM, PD, REPE / REIM, Infra-PE / Infra-IM, PhysComm, PrimeBroke, SS Research, PrivSecond, FoF, PrivCapAdv

"Select" Other Finance gigs: CorpBanking (at certain firms), PrivBanking (at certain firms)

Probably the most wholistic list.
Very good list. Let’s call it $100K 1 - 3 years out of college though depending on the position? But broadly, these are the professions that net you “six figures”.
Thought MBB only pay $80-90k first year...
Gotta consider base, sign on bonus, year end bonus, retirement benefits, etc, adds up to closer to 125+ from what I've seen
Lots of jobs in tech. Especially if you come out of school and actually spent time doing projects outside of what you were required to do. In high CoL areas like SF it's common.
Recruiters love active GitHubs with projects. They also love it when people write articles about some specific technology too.
