You are very right indeed. Lawyers profession is lucrtaive and it does not gaurantee any success to everyone. First of all, look at the market today, there are countless lawyers / paralegals that is to say more lawyers less cases.Senior lawyers are as bad as dogs and they will never encourage juniors to come up. If wanna be a lawyer you gotta be shrewd, mean or corrupt minded like them. However, there are so many stupid students out there today who lead superficial life and just for the heck of Showing -Off to their community what they are capable of, they study law for 5-6 long years wasting time and money and finally does not fit in the profession. Whats the use? Remember, this profession is not for the honest, releigious, principled or any simple people.hey this a computer age. No time for long study! Just reap some short n sweet course and start earning. Thats my advice and that will suite you better. Good Luck!

Just because you go to law school spend anywhere for 10K to 20K a year for three years that you will be making the big bucks when you get out. New lawyers are usually required to bill about 2 thousand hours a year does not leave you with much free time, no social life, if you are good you will slowly climb the up, the other way to make a small living is to find a niche like workers comp do not put as many hours in thus less pay but you have a social life. other way is to be very good at PI get a couple of good cases and bam big time money

Even if you have a professional degrees such as in law, medicine, business administration, etc., this is no guarantee that you will be making big bucks. You have to have the right connection to land a job in the right places to do that. There are lawyers, doctors, and MBA's who are making no more than $50,000-60,000 a year. It is rough out there in the real world, unless you link up with the right people who can help your career along.

Any professional career is only lucrative for those who are successful. You made a brilliant observation!

Only for the successful ones. Think "Lionel Hutz" of the "Simpsons."
