I was researching different careers (currently stuck on whether to become a lawyer or a doctor) when I came across these figures. What do you think?

Doctors and Lawyers spend a long time going to school and run up large debts.
My daughter is a lawyer that specialized in civil rights. She only makes about half what you are suggesting. She tells me that most young lawyers work 80 hour weeks to get the kind of salary you are suggesting.
