| who earns more. an accountant, a lawyer or a psychologist and who earns the least? i know it all depends on where you work ect but as an educated estimate Law & Legal - 5 Answers People Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : Answer 1 : All things being equal (same state, education, years of experence, etc), I would assume the accountant makes the least, lawyer second, psychologist is the most. However, you have lawyers who make close to nothing representing trash off the street, and you have high-powered corporate attorneys who make millions. It all depends on what kind of law. Answer 2 : 1) Lawyer 2) Psychologist 3) Accountant Answer 3 : Very few psychologist's make more that $100K a year, most make a lot less. Just about any graduate from a top 10 law school will start out at $150,000+ a year with a major firm, but they work 60-75+ a week. A CPA that works in a large firm will makes around $100,000 to $150,000 per year. Don't confuse psychology with a psychiatry. A psychiatrist is an MD and a psychologist isn't. The difference is about 6 years more education. Answer 4 : Go to salary.com. Enter job and zip code. It will give you salary for the job in your area. Answer 5 : There is a large misconception regarding the average salary of a lawyer. While large law firms currently pay anywhere from 150k-175k for lawyers fresh out of law school, these firms recruit lawyers who graduated from the top 10-20th percentile of their class out of what are known as first tier law schools. When averaged with the salaries of the other 80 percent of law school graduates, and the law school graduates from the remaining tier two, three and four law schools, the actual avarage salary goes way down to around half that amount. |
