This rather interesting American salary review of the highest paying jobs threw up a couple of surprises: electrical & electronic engineers earn more than lawyers? Geeklawyer is pretty sure that isn't the position in the UK. Also US lawyers average $100k/year: much more modest than he'd have guessed - indeed not much more than the UK average which considering the significantly higher cost of living is somewhat of a surprise & he doesn't entirely buy it.

I think it very much depends upon which lawyer and which electronic engineer you ask. There is a huge spread across both professions.
This survey, one presumes, takes an average: sure a solicitor in, say, Kings Lynn might scrape by on £40k while a hotshot barrister on, say, the south coast might top £130k.
