who earns more. an accountant, a lawyer or a psychologist and who earns the least?

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.

Answer 1 :
Yes, of course you will. You may be disadvantaged compared to others in that field since you've worked in accountancy, and would most likely have no experience in civil engineering. It would be possible to get into it, but don't expect to get it at an equal level as you were with accountancy, and don't expect to be treated as well as others who have just graduated and have had relevant experience in the field.
Answer 2 :
you will definitely be qualified for both jobs but like the previous respondent said, you will be disadvantaged in the one in which you have minimal experience. what i will do in your case is seek accountancy work in an engineering company where both skills can come into play.. that's what i am looking to do.. i am doing my professional accounting exams and studying towards a degree in IT at the same time.

Answer 1 :
If your a fan of maths and got a really good gcse & A level maths go for it i think there are alot of pros for this job the money is VERY good on one hand unfortunatly for me maths has never been my strongest subject :-(
Answer 2 :
I was an accounting major, no risk, no decision-making. You are pretty much a glorified secretary. It's really boring.
Answer 3 :
well, it's a well paid job - but if you love maths and data, the chances are that you would become very bored with being an accountant. The work is rather repetitive and most businesses have software that does all the double entries for you. To be an accountant in this day and age is more about being knowledgeable on the law regarding Income Tax and VAT - so it might be a good idea for you to take a look at HMCR on the website and see what you think. I would imagine that you are quite young and that you are looking for career direction. See if you can get a work placement as a purchase ledger or sales ledger controller - it is more likely to be purchase ledger, but if they know why you want the placement they are likely to help you. That way you will have some idea of what you are up against! I wish you all the luck in the world - but to be honest, accountancy doesn't have anything to do with maths and only a minimal amount to do with arithmetic.
Answer 4 :
accountancy is a very good career as you have to take proffessional exams to qualify and join the accountancy society (similar to the law society) and therefore is much more specialised than just finance or economics because of this the accountancy qualifications are very valuable and you will get paid a lot of money and there is the possibility of opening your own practice if working for a company doesn't appeal to you also it's quite an obscure choice these days so you'll probably get into a really good university (it's not exactly the obvious choice) you must be prepared to trail through loads of numbers but if that appeals to you then go for it! here's the link to the society of chartered accountants: http://www.icaew.co.uk/ have a great day too! xx
Answer 5 :
I have applied to do accountacy and am waiting to hear, it's horrible waiting. I want to do it as i want to be financially secure and independent. I dont ever want to have to rely on a husband to look after me financially, i think i would hate that so much. It's a really good and varied career.
Answer 6 :
cons: after a while, it can be rather boring and dull, cos you are dealing with numbers all the times! 2. u tend to work very late and long hour, particularly, during mth end, quarter end, year end and budget period. Pros: Good prospect 2. you gain a good understanding on how these financial statements are all about and you learn to think from various aspects.
