Did you just really compare a high school teacher's education (even the one's who have a master's) with a lawyer's? Also, let's compare the amount of hours the average lawyer works per year versus the average teacher. Before we even take into account summers, lawyers win this in a landslide. Now add 3 more months. If that actually turned out to be an accurate stat, teachers would be lucky to get a quarter of the pay lawyers do. If you take out the outliers, the average lawyer makes nowhere near $200k. I searched Chicago attorney salaries and picked Attorney II out of a I-III scale and got this:
