"Junior paralegals with two to three years' experience at small law firms are projected to earn average annual starting salaries ranging from $27,500 to $35,500, according to Robert Half International Inc."

Doctors start out in the 30-50k range, and have 100-150k of debt.

Oh yeah, both those starting lawyers and doctors will be working WAY harder than I am.
Doctors and lawyers do start out with 100x the potential pilots do. Why would you try to put a wolf in sheeps clothing here. You act as though you are paid well for flying. Hey, docs do NOT start out in the 30-50K range! Maybe in Canada. My father is a MD and my brother a DDS. Those numbers are absolutely ridiculous.

Here are some numbers for your crazy take on doctors salaries based on first year earnings -

Oral Surgeon $125K (my brother made over $225K his first year)
GP $128k
Derm $160K
Peds $125K
Anes $160K
Ortho $200K
Vascular $190K

Oh yeah, and you can buy a paralegal degree on line through a home study course.

Nice try.
