Those are first year numbers for graduates from a decent law school, or city or county lawyers. Most private lawyers make 250k+ and partners in major firms 500k+

Wish numbers were more accurate with checking 500-3k tournies as some players have racked up a lot of money nickel and diming around.

Those are first year numbers for graduates from a top 10 law school, taking into account taxes. In NYC it would be around 93k actually, if you dont have to pay SS and medicare taxes because you are a foreigner.

Partners in major law firms make a minimum of 800k and up, with the 'best' law firms averaging at around 3 million. But imagine how that skews the overall salary scale. But to make partner, well good luck! out of maybe 100 graduates, maybe 1 or 2 will make it.

Honestly those numbers include a high number of do gooders who do non profit or government work which pays crap compared to private sector. Would be pretty cool if they had a list as acurate as they do with athletes including endorsements and private appearences.

Someone making 50k on government salary skews the numbers worst than someone making 3 million when the 'median' is at 100k? ^_^
Again, iam talking about people from a top 10 law school where no one voluntarily works for government or non profit stuff [unless its some high end shit that they then parlay into something lucrative].

Plus there is the little matter of those crippling 10% student loans.

Trust me -- being a lawyer in the states, in this economy, is super super overrated. Hence the significantly larger number of alcoholics and drug addicts in the profession as compared to the general population.

Nestea is making some $$$!!

However, if MVP's earning are calculated into the mix, he would be the highest for sure.

...His earnings are calculated in. Unless he got a small extra amount from the team league, those figures are up to date.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

I don't see the point of that list since there is one much more accurate already for some time.

Weird.

Why did some people's earnings go down compared to the GOM list... like everyone in between Jinro and Idra.

O well... doesn't matter.
