Maybe I should have clarified: Patent lawyers ;) I think, there is just a difference between high earning lawyers and those that are not. It is difficult to get into a position, where the high rates are earned. But I think, it is at least more likely, that you can earn real big money as lawyer (without starting an own company) than as a programmer.
