Law school is more of a lotto than medical school. They really aren't even comparable. My old college roommate makes $300K a year as a dermatologist.
The WORST you do as a doctor is about $120K/yr which is one of the best salaries you can make as a programmer.
Doctors don't become Google rich but if you are looking for a solid stable job that pays a lot it's still one of the best.
Law is different because there is no limit on the number of lawyers minted each year. Every year is a new record number of lawyers. A law school grad isn't guaranteed any job at all, even with a degree from a school like Yale. In contrast, doctors can literally kill people and keep their jobs.
