<p>I am accountant with just a BA from a tier 4 school and I work with some attorneys in my tax practice group. They pay them 10k more than the BA-CPA eligible hires. We hired 2 of them last year one from Georgetown (tax LLM) and the other from some other tier one school that escapes me. They make 10k more than our BA staff but they also have six figures in debt so adjusted for payment they are more poor. Also they are supervised by the BA holding seniors like me. (who make more than they do) FYI just because you have a law degree from a top that doesn’t mean you are a genius. Some of these attorneys have some serious issues bridging the theory-practice gap.
