That's why MFA generally hire lawyers, because law is probably the profession that has the worst work-life balance.

This is accurate. The previous poster only saw or heard the glam. Where there really isn't any. At least not until yous reach a rather high rank. Even scholars do such menial task as booking hotels and planning itinerary. And setting up tables for meals.
And the starting pay shared above is accurate for non-scholars.
