<p>Complete nonsense. The richest lawyers are doing personal injury and mass torts and not at BigLaw/Midlaw. Similarly plenty of extremely well off lawyers work in small boutiques. For example, [url=<a href=“http://www.bancroftpllc.com/]Bancroft[/url”>http://www.bancroftpllc.com/]Bancroft[/url</a>]. Biglaw partners do well, certainly, but the job is prized because it is (relatively, compared to the other jobs) easy to get. Similarly doctors [url=<a href=“http://healthland.time.com/2012/04/27/doctors-salaries-who-earns-the-most-and-the-least/]can[/url”>Surgeon Salary: How Much Doctors Make | TIME]can[/url</a>] make a very decent living, but far from all of them do. You also have to remember that the opportunity costs of medical school far exceed that of law school (because it’s 3 times as long). Doctors still probably do better than lawyers, overall (because the AMA keeps a lid on supply and the ABA is a sock puppet), but your statement is ridiculous.</p>
