I'm a lawyer who paid off some debt at a large firm straight out of law school, before going into government service. More than a decade later, I still don't make as much as I did when I was 24. I find it exceedingly difficult to imagine anyone making the same move if they were so motivated by money that they'd be susceptible to kickbacks.
