The difference between lawyer jobs and house cleaning jobs, is if suddenly the demand of both jobs surge such that they all pay $500k/year, people could quit their $499k-and-less job today and start their house cleaning job.
That's not the case for starting lawyering, you have to: Go to law school, pass the bar, have a set of specialized skills than cleaning doesn't require.
This combination of skill and long (and costly...) processs is what keeps lawyer salaries higher.

And the hardest part is you can't bs your way through this field. It's extraordinarily easy to point out someone bluffing on a resume with a simple linked list or binary tree test. With lawyers or business people, it's all about connections.
