[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the same scare line used any time people are held accountable: "But no one will do the job if they can be prosecuted/sued for what they do on the job." And yet, we still have doctors, lawyers, LE, and so on. So, no, not worried.[/quote] There's a slight pay difference...[/quote] Starting salaries for public defenders and police officers are basically identical, at least where I am in Maryland.[/quote]m Yup. And many other civil servant lawyers and private practice lawyers make similar comp to cops. There’s a lot more to the field than biglaw and bigfed.[/quote] Yep. My small DC firm hires starting at $65k, which is what MPD officers make after their, admittedly lengthy, probationary period. The big firm types bring the average up, but plenty of lawyers are out there making similar salaries to police officers. (It may be the same for doctors, I don't know their job market at all)[/quote]
