I think people focus too much on graduate salary as an indicator of financial reward in this profession. In a sense, why should a 1st year level, junior solicitor, be paid more than a paralegal, who may have years of experience in their role; someone in their 1st year of most professions doesn't know shit, why should they be paid as if they do?

Instead, I think its a better idea to focus on the impressive rise in salary as your career progresses. You may be potentially earning 3-4 times more within only 10 years. That is very good progression compared to other careers, I think.
