Why is that appalling to you? Your understanding is correct, but why do you assume that a law graduate should earn that much more than an average graduate outside of private practice? Honestly, inhouse work can be done by pretty much any decently intelligent person who is in the industry. It is just traditionally done by lawyers because they already know the material. But it's not that much of a learning curve, because any real hard law gets thrown to a real law firm.
