I read a study a while ago that said that the distibution of IQs for Doctors and lawyers is the same as the general population. Meaning the averges are the same, not "smarter."
In fact doctors and lawyers draw from the same categories of people.
Not knocking doctors or lawyers. PhDd had IQ's above the normal distribution. They were "smarter" on average.

3) There are many more barriers to being a lawyer. You have to do well in college. You have to score well enough on the LSAT. You have to get through law school. You have to pass the bar. So while I agree there are many lawyers out there that have the common sense of a doorknob, you have to be of a reasonable intelligence level to be a lawyer.
I never said I hated teachers or that they had no value. But my high school teachers, and I can reasonably deduct which ones are making the $75K, are NOT worth that, especially when there are many thing that they did not prepare me for.
