This isn't an apples to apples comparison. Law school can require as much as $200k and 3 years of opportunity cost on top of whatever was spent on undergrad.
Additionally, it's my understanding that getting a shot [1] at the big leagues in law requires a top-12 school. Are mid-tier law schools pumping out lawyers who make $150k as first year associates? I'd be surprised, but I don't have the data.
[1] Even attending a top school is no guarantee. Law school is fiercely competitive, and only top-scoring students from top schools get the really lucrative & prestigious positions.
