That’s why the motivation to do law cannot be because of money.
If it’s money, you should do business graduate top of cohort and go to a hedge fund to work.

Law is a profession where you must do it either to uphold justice, in that case you go be a prosecutor, or you do it because you want to make a difference in the life of others, pro bono, access to justice etc.

If you want a lot of money, then you need to relook at why you are doing law.
If everyone wants the money, then no one in law would be academics, doing pro bono work, community law etc.

It’s not about the money. If a Oxford, cambridge or harvard grad thinks only about money then so many of them won’t be in academic trying to teach the next generation of lawyers.
