I would like to be a lawyer, but the job mean is only 100k a year!?? Are all lawyer's salaries like this?

You must have fallen hard on your head to expect $100 K right out of law school..........consider this........... 56 thousand law degrees are awarded each year........with thousands in the pipe line......law is and will be saturated for years and years.........get something in the health field and you won't have to starve trying to pay off your 200K student loan........just look in the yellow pages under lawyers. ...page after page of attorneys begging for work..........watch TV……loaded with law firms begging for any kind of law suit…just to feed their kids………. the new software can do 90% of what you would hire a lawyer to do.........for $40 bucks........Legal self help just opened in our court house in Feb 2010 they have serviced 900 legal issues in 5 months without the assistance of attorneys……what does that tell you…….go into health care and never want for a good job……..Check this out… Kelsey May, a 2010 University of Tulsa law school grad and co-author of What the L? 25 Things We Wish We'd Known Before Going to Law School……

If three years to make 100k isn't enough for you, spend 8 years to become a physician. Or 5 to 6 years to become a PhD.

You could be making 60k when starting out of law school. Experienced and very good lawyers make $150k. Judges make more but you have to be an experienced lawyer first. Stop lying to yourself. You are doing it for the money. But keep in perspective. There are lots of lawyers out there competing for jobs. Also when I started out after college, I was making between $25-30k. Lawyers get better paid.
