But in both cases, there just isn't some low bar that you can finagle your way over and get to the promised riches. Lawyers have a literal Bar, and it isn't low. Doctors have a ton of required training. Both have serious certification requirements that computer science professionals do not. Both professions support my point.
Furthermore, incompetent lawyers face real-world tests. If they lose their cases or otherwise screw things up, they are not going to be raking in the money. And people are trying their best to flood the doctor market, by inventing certifications that avoid the requirements to be a physician and setting themselves up as alternative medicine specialists or naturalists or generic "healers" or whatever. (I'm not saying they're all crap, but I am saying that unqualified people are flooding those positions.)

That's the part I'm wondering about. Because it seems like I don't hear reports from people who would hire doctors and lawyers, of having to deal with that.
For lawyers, there is an oversupply of the most lucrative segments, and an undersupply everywhere else: https://www.ajs.org/is-there-a-shortage-of-lawyers/
