    Just from a salary perspective, my lawyer makes 4 times what I do and my income is pretty good (in the top 5% according to Forbes). He doesn’t work nearly as much or as hard as I do either. He is not a patent/trademark lawyer, his specialty is litigation. 9 out of 10 lawsuits don’t see their day in court (they reach settlements) so you might say he doesn’t work at all. 🙂

    Law is the smart way to go if you’re lazy and want to get rich. It can also be very depressing and you will see the worst of society on a daily basis.

    Is your attorney a solo, or is he a partner? I assume making that much he isn’t an associate…

    So do you think that law is too risky a gamble? Or do you thnk it would pay off as an investment? (Assuming a top 1-25 matriculation)

    I had a friend who quit his engineering job to go to law school. Like you, he did extensive research into the law profession. His conclusion was that one needs to graduate from one of the top 10 law schools to have a good chance of recuperating the investment (time/money/effort).

    He said that because there is a huge surplus of lawyers, the employment prospects those who went to the schools ranked 11 – 25 is not that bright.
