Lawyers make more than most GPs I know.

I work with docs in my practice every day and almost all of them profess great love for it. Of course, most of my docs are at academic medical centers, they're very smart, and they went into it as much to do good as to do well. In my own family, the docs who are less happy are inevitably the money grubbers, but they'll never be satisfied (in any profession, really).
You know, it is pretty easy to get data on lawyer and doctor incomes and if you looked you'd find out that you are way off on across the professional averages. The average physician makes north of $200K, while the average attorney is around $150K. Obviously, in both groups, it's possible to identify a subgroup that would scoff at that figure.
