Then I doubt their life is nearly as bad as the life of an attorney.  They probably have some sort of work quota they need to fulfill, but they cannot possibly be subject to the same harassment, intimidation, and abuse that the attorneys are subjected to on a daily basis.  [/quote]

This thread is so sad. I read a WSJ article claiming Miami law grads graduate with about $300k in debt but only make maybe $65k. Is that how much the VA pays? I would say I hope they join BVA and get PSLF but you all make it sound like it takes heroics to make it more than a few years. [/quote]

It does take heroics to make it more than a few years.

VA pays GS pay scale.  I believe licensed attorneys still start at GS-11 and progress to 14.  For a period of time they also hired non licensed law grads as "law clerks" at GS-9, but I do not know if that is still happening   This is the standard pay scale for attorneys in most agencies.  Some agencies have non supervisory GS-15 positions, but, without a special skill you're unlikely to get that at most places.
