I think it's way more random than that.  Most attorneys make in 150K+ range....but if you are out of work for 15 months, unless you have a damn good reason (taking time off for a child, LLM or medical issue), you are probably not going to find another job in that field.  And even if you have a good reason, you're going to have an incredibly tough time.

Lawyers have really crappy job mobility -- firms generally don't want a lot of laterals unless you're bringing clients or you've got some great demonstrable set of skills.  Depending on your field, there's a limited field of inhouse counsel positions, but then not really anyplace to go from there (unless a very similar company).

So I think it depends a lot more on fields and how in demand and transferable your skills are.  That's one of the great things about tech or nursing -- they are solid, objective, transferable skills.[/quote]
