6 figure salary for an executive assistant in Tennesse is quite nice. A lot of engineers I know dont make that much and the skillset gap required between both professions is quite large IMO.

Skillset gap is not what determines price. Supply and demand ratios do, which does not necessarily correlate with skillset gap.

For example, I might be able to be an executive assistant, but I imagine the quality of life of an executive assistant is worse than what I do now, so I would want even more money to be an executive assistant.

It correlates big time. It's just that there are exceptions to the rule.
