Not all lawyers make a decent living, I must stress that point! I know so many kids who say right off they want to be a doctor or a lawyer for the money. Well, don't put yourself through the torture of THAT schooling and interning if you don't REALLY want to do the job out of plain interest or desire to do something good/constructive/altruistic with your life! I know lawyers who struggle to make their rent payments but love their work and get great satisfaction from helping people (one I know is a lawyer for immigration cases and international law) and there are doctors out there who don't make a whopping huge check but are satisfied with the good they can do for their fellow man.. so, my point? Don't go to school JUST to get a high paying job... you may find you don't like it. But on the other hand, you might find one that is richly rewarding in other ways... it's all about your personal goals and satisfaction in the end.
