It's sad that the average teacher's salary from my HS is fairly likely to be more than i'll make starting out of law school.

Reminder of the original post... Did you ever think that maybe the 1/3 have masters or doctorates with years of experience? Maybe it's not so sad that someone with more experience in their field is making more than you?
