Mate, in cities like Newcastle working in areas like insurance, property (particularly with development companies), mining and medium sized businesses earning 100K+ is pretty standard after 5-10 years. I can't quote you exact figures but ALOT of my friends parents are earning more than my parents as teachers.
I understand what you're trying to say and you're right - any business where you don't own capital you're not going to be raking it in. But still, if a mcmansion, spoodle and speed boat is what you're after and you're willing to put in the hours, practicing law at a boutique/mid tier firm is a good way to go about it.
btw: I don't base my career on money, but spoodles are fair awesome.
