Please don't assume attorneys clear the $125,000 threshold. I have been an attorney since 1987 and know the legal job market in and out. The number of attorneys making $125,000 straight out of law school might be 1 out of 25. The number making more than $125,000 after 20 years might be 5 out of 25. Many attorneys make $40,000 to $50,000 with very little in the way of benefits. And that is if they're lucky to get a job. The most sought after legal jobs today are public sector jobs b/c their pay has gone up much more than the private sector. Plus, you get benefits in the public sector you will never get as a private law firm attorney. People need to stop putting lawyers in the same class as doctors when it comes to compensation.
