I know 5 lawyers very well. Mrs. BtM, 3 of her law school friends, and a friend of mine. All have graduated within the last 3 years.
Mrs. BtM: decent job now, decent pay, lots of upside in the next year or so though. ~45hrs/week
Friend A: 80hrs/week at big law firm, 200k. he hates his life.
Friend B: 80hrs/week at big law firm, 200k. he hates his life.
Friend C: 40hrs/week at govt, 60k.
My friend: 60hrs/week at small firm, 70k. he hates his life.
People will still need lawyers in 10 years. I imagine having a JD then will be beneficial.
