I am thinking of becoming a corporate attorney in the future, and to also take and acquire a business degree. What is the salary like for corporate attorneys'? Is it a good job, and are corporate lawyers usually rich? Other info? thanks a lot

Corporate attorneys are generally paid very high salaries.

However corporate attorney positions are hard to come by. You'll need to be in the top 30% or so of your class at a T14 law school to have any hope of a job.

It's a very stressful job and will require things like 18 hour days and weekends at the office.
