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.
Well if one gloats about earning 100k+ in 10 years, might just struggle a bit with the McMansion, unless you're talking about buying in Newcastle.
