Plus most lawyers I know have zero social or personal life fresh out of law school. They gotta work a ton of hours to earn the cash.
That's not true. Being a lawyer or doctor is the lazy way to becoming well off. The salary you make after your education helps you pay off your loans quite easily. However, if you want to get stinking rich younger then there is a higher opportunity cost for you to give up making money to attend school. Not many people are in that position though.

And it's not fair to say people who work long hours don't have personal lives.
