While what she is stating might not be the case for all law school grads, it isn't as far fetched to come out of school easily making 2-3 times what a starting teacher is making, depepnding on the degree you choose. As a software engineer in michigan, you can come out of uni with a BS in computer science and easily find a job paying $55k+ and make 2-3 times as much as a starting teacher ($35k if you're lucky and find a good school that has funding) in the same state after a year or two of experience.
