That's a fair point, but that doesn't really lessen the massive theft by the top tech companies from essentially all software engineers. Law was just a point of comparison that struck me as puzzling at the time.
That might be a fair point but a bad argument. Market salaries are notional values which stabilize at an equilibrium where companies who pay and engineers both expectations are managed. This comes from demand and supply.
High cost of law school can only impact the supply side of lawyers. One need to understand trends in both demand and supply of these professions to get the larger picture.
Law school is competitive and software is not, will not be a valid argument that can justify higher salaries of lawyers.
