Some cops make over $100K. Some electricians make over $150K. Most
make nowhere near that.

Some attorneys make over a million a year. Some solos start their own
firms and net hundreds of thousands. The vast majority of lawyers make
a comfortable living.

So question, L, if you can't make it as an attorney, what makes you
think you'll make it to the top of the electrician or police ranks?
You'll be making $9 an hour in Mayberry.
